Norway digital infrastructure and cybersecurity threats
Overview
Norway is facing an increasingly complex landscape of digital threats targeting its critical infrastructure and public systems. Telenor Norway has reported that geopolitical instability and hybrid threats are driving a rise in digital crime. A notable development is the use of artificial intelligence by threat actors to identify software vulnerabilities at high speeds, often before fixes can be implemented.
Authorities, including the Norwegian Communications Authority and the Directorate for Civil Protection, have advised citizens to prepare for potential disruptions to mobile and internet networks caused by accidents, weather, or sabotage. In the private sector, the scale of fraudulent activity is significant, with reports indicating that millions of fraudulent calls targeted Norwegian mobile customers in 2025. To mitigate these risks, service providers are implementing automated security measures such as call filtering and website blocking.
