Oddbjørn Skauge recognized as a CISO

Sicra’s CISO (Chief Information Security Officer), Oddbjørn Skauge, has been featured in the ranking “CISOs to Watch in Norway’s Computer & Network Security Industry” as one of Norway’s leading security executives who combines technical insight with strategic governance. This underscores how Sicra approaches security as a business and organizational driver.

Security as an enabler

In the feature by CISO Whisperer, Oddbjørn is recognized for his experience with business transformations, information security management systems, regulatory compliance, and his ability to view security as an enabler for the organization rather than a limitation.

Oddbjørn has a broad professional foundation in IT operations, cybersecurity, and digital transformation, and plays a central role in ensuring that Sicra’s clients receive strategically anchored and operationally effective security leadership.

Holistic security as a framework

This recognition reinforces the approach Sicra stands for, where security leadership is an integrated part of a holistic security model. In Sicra’s security triangle, security leadership (CISO), technical and professional expertise, and an operations center (NOC/SOC) are closely interconnected to ensure that strategies are not only planned, but also executed and continuously monitored. This holistic model bridges business objectives, technical security, and continuous operations across both IT and OT (operational technology).

Strategic security in practice

As CISO, Oddbjørn has also played a key role in developing Sicra’s CISO-for-hire offering, a flexible way for organizations without an internal security leader to access top-level strategic and practical security leadership.

This approach reflects Sicra’s philosophy that effective security solutions must be both accessible and integrated into business objectives, while supporting growth, innovation, and digitalization in a secure and resilient manner.

A security leader with a business perspective

Oddbjørn Skauge demonstrates that security leadership today is about more than technical controls—it is about setting direction, managing risk, and ensuring that organizations can operate and grow in an increasingly complex digital landscape.
