We Take Security Seriously
Telenor is committed to implementing industry-leading security measures to help protect and future-proof our customers business.
Cyber Security at Telenor
Cyber security has been, and continues to be, a top priority for Telenor since the company’s creation, around twenty years ago. Our goal is to prevent and reduce the effect of a range of threats, including the ability to swiftly detect and respond to unwanted activities.
Our approach to cyber security incorporates preventive controls, including monitoring and detection, vulnerability assessments and incident management and response across all our business units and markets.
Threats
Advanced threat actors are increasingly aiming to steal information, modify customer data or make services unavailable. We can see a trend in which attackers attempt to find open doors through applications and lower level infrastructure to gain access.
Other common threats include identity theft or privacy breaches, ransomware, insider threats and attacks to either alter systems or information or bring services down (denial-of-service attacks).
How we Work with Cyber Security
As a responsible business, Telenor understand that advanced security solutions are essential to handle a wide range of evolving cyber threats. Telenor is constantly developing its security efforts, in line with the current external threat picture and preparing for potential future threats.
Our priority is always to protect our customers’ data in compliance with relevant authorities and legal frameworks.
To make it easier for customers and partners to understand how committed Telenor is to cyber security we routinely seek external certification.

The certification was awarded in recognition of Telenor Connexion’s commitment to provide its customers with the highest level of information security management.
