Netsecurity

What Netsecurity does

Netsecurity is a privately held Norwegian cybersecurity firm headquartered in Oslo, operating seven offices across Norway and Sweden and employing 170+ specialists. The company delivers managed detection and response (MDR), incident response, penetration testing, OT security, strategic advisory, and security product integration to more than 800 public-sector and private clients in the Nordics. Its core technology is a fully Norwegian-based 24/7 Security Operations Center (SOC) that auto-analyzes and handles approximately 90% of incoming alarms, with advanced incidents escalated to certified human experts; the platform operates to a 1-10-60 detection-to-response discipline that achieved an average 9-minute response time in 2022. Netsecurity holds NSM (Nasjonal Sikkerhetsmyndighet) approval for its incident response team, Diamond Partner status with Palo Alto Networks (the largest such partner in Norway and first in Europe) and Extreme Networks (since 2001), and in 2025 added a strategic partnership with Swedish Clavister for sovereign European defence-grade firewalls.

The business operates three revenue streams: subscription-based managed security services (MDR/SOC), project-based professional services (incident response, penetration testing, OT and strategic consulting), and managed security products and integration (resale of Palo Alto, Extreme, Clavister, and other vendor technologies). Go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting Norwegian and Swedish municipalities, defence, and regulated enterprises, supplemented by a "Bli forhandler" reseller program for mid-market reach and a multi-channel marketing function spanning blog, webinars, events, and social. Recent strategic activity — the Clavister defence partnership (August 2025), the NTNU talent collaboration (October 2025), and the Jämtland multi-municipality MDR win across eight Swedish municipalities (2026) — signals active expansion across new verticals, new geographies, and the talent pipeline.
