Ten years. Ten stories from the front lines of cyberwarfare

Sicra was founded in 2016 on a simple idea: Good business requires good security. Ten years later, that belief is stronger than ever and more relevant to more organizations than ever before. In an increasingly complex digital landscape, cybersecurity has never been more important.

Most of Sicra’s customers never see the attacks that are stopped. They do not see the analysis that uncovers an intrusion attempt. They do not see the preparedness work behind it, the weeks of mapping, the hundreds of configurations, or the adjustments that over time make an organization resilient and digitally robust.

– The key to cybersecurity is building resilience. Few people notice this work, but it is the foundation that prevents things from going wrong, says Gaute Lien, CEO of Sicra.

While the news is dominated by dramatic data breaches, ransomware, and sensitive information falling into the wrong hands, Sicra prefers to focus on building digital resilience into organizations and strengthening their ability to withstand cyberattacks. This spans everything from network infrastructure and OT security in industrial environments to security management in major transformation programs and 24/7 monitoring.

Sicra works closely with its customers to align security with business objectives and the organization’s actual needs. The approach is always the same: Understand the organization. Identify what actually needs to be protected. Use sufficient resources, but not more than necessary.

From small municipalities to global audit firms

The breadth of Sicra’s services reflects the breadth of today’s cyberthreats. No organization is too large or too small to need strong security. No industry is immune to cyberattacks.

On the contrary, attackers are gaining more powerful tools, significant financial value can be stolen with relatively little risk, and warfare has become increasingly digital, affecting both public services and private-sector organizations. As a result, “more and more organizations are becoming subject to legislation intended to safeguard national security,” says Hedvig Moe, partner at the law firm Thommessen.

Security that enables growth

Sicra’s ambition has never been to sell fear. It has been to provide confidence. The confidence to do business, pursue development and innovation without taking unnecessary risks, and grow without creating unnecessary exposure.

Good security creates predictability. It builds users’ trust in digital solutions, which in turn supports faster user adoption and revenue growth. Strong security helps ensure that services are actually used and provides a foundation for effective collaboration and for organizations to share the information they need to share with confidence.

The merger with Bluetree in 2025 gave Sicra a unique combination of strong expertise in IT security, networking, and OT security, covering the entire technology platform, from office networks to industrial facilities and critical infrastructure.

10 stories about the work no one sees

To celebrate Sicra’s first ten years at the forefront of the fight against cyberattacks, we are presenting ten stories that demonstrate both the breadth of Sicra’s work and the depth of what cybersecurity actually involves.

These stories are about municipalities that kept essential services running when attackers struck, audit firms that gained better control over digital risk, cybersecurity as an essential ingredient in safe food production, and many others that built digital resilience before it was too late.
