TLDR:
- Telenor creates new company, Telenor Cyberdefense, focusing on cybersecurity for Norwegian businesses
- The new company will offer Security Operations Centre for 24/7 monitoring and response to cyber threats
Telenor Cyberdefense, a new firm created by Nordic operator Telenor, aims to assist Norwegian businesses in combating increasing cyberattacks. With one in five business leaders reporting cyberattacks in the past year and concerns about operations being crippled by such attacks, Telenor has decided to establish Telenor Cyberdefense within its portfolio. This new company will provide a Security Operations Center for monitoring, prevention, detection, and response to cyber threats, along with consultancy services and testing of IT systems. Telenor Cyberdefense plans to expand its operations across Nordic markets and already has a customer base of around 70 Norwegian businesses. This initiative also involves the transfer of security personnel from Telenor Norway to the new company, enhancing security for both Telenor and its customers.
