Core offering

Norwegian Cybersecurity Cluster is a membership-based business cluster that brings together approximately 50 cybersecurity actors across private companies, academia, and public administration. Its core offering is a set of partner services: professional networking and partner matching, international market positioning (notably through ECSO), a dedicated OT Security theme group, cyber exercises delivered via the Norwegian Cyber Range in collaboration with NTNU CCIS, and competence development courses co-developed with NTNU CCIS and Digital Norway.

Product overview

Norwegian Cybersecurity Cluster is Norway's largest business collaboration network for digital security, bringing together approximately 50 actors from public and private sector, academia, and public administration. The organization is structured as a cluster organization (not a traditional software company) that provides its partners with four main service packages: (1) Meeting places and partner matching for professional networking; (2) International markets and positioning for European access; (3) OT security theme group for operational technology security collaboration; (4) Exercise as a service (Cyberrange) for practical cyber exercises; and (5) Competence development through courses and modules. The cluster also organizes recurring events including Cyber Café webinars, annual partner gatherings, Kongsberg Agenda participation, Arendalsuka debates, and the Attack cybersecurity conference. The organization operates under Digital Innlandet and is located at Bright House in Gjøvik.

Broad incumbents

• Digital Norway: Norwegian digital cluster organization that actually hosts the course portal and educational content for NCC partners. Overlapping mandate in Norwegian digital competitiveness and business collaboration, with a much broader digital (not security-specific) remit.
• European Cyber Security Organisation (ECSO): Pan-European cybersecurity cluster organization that NCC is a member of and co-organizes events with. ECSO operates at a much larger scale with EU working groups, making it a structural counterpart and the dominant broader incumbent in the same coordination space.
• Nasjonalt koordineringssenter for forskning og innovasjon og cybersikkerhet (NCC-NO): National coordination center operated by NSM and the Research Council of Norway, part of the European Cybersecurity Competence Centre network. A formal strategic partner of NCC and a peer in shaping Norwegian cybersecurity policy and funding.

Direct peers

• Norwegian Centre for Cyber and Information Security (NTNU CCIS): NTNU's cybersecurity research and education center and NCC's core academic partner. Operates an overlapping competence-building mandate and provides the Norwegian Cyber Range, making it a tightly coupled peer with shared service offerings.
• NCE Manufacturing: Norwegian Center of Expertise manufacturing cluster and listed NCC partner. Operates the same Norwegian cluster program model (Innovasjon Norge) but in manufacturing, providing a directly comparable domestic cluster model.
• CenSec: Danish cluster for defense, space, and security and a direct Nordic peer. CenSec organizes the Homeland Security Conference and is a formal cooperation partner of NCC, operating the same cluster model in an adjacent national market.
• Cybercampus Sweden: Sweden's national cybersecurity initiative bringing together academia, government, and business. Directly comparable in mission — national cyber coordination and competence building — making it the closest peer competitor in the Nordic region.
• Norsis (Norwegian Centre for Information Security): Norwegian ICT security public-private partnership and NCC partner. Provides national coordination on cybersecurity awareness and is a peer in the cybersecurity ecosystem-building space, though with a more public-facing/awareness mandate.
