Norwegian cybersecurity guidelines : A case study of Norwegian security agencies

Abstract

In recent years, several countries in Europe have focused on developing their own national solutions for cybersecurity. Norwegian security authorities have also developed national guidelines to develop a common national solution to meet the ever-increasing focus on Euro-pean and international regulations within cybersecurity. The study sheds light on elements related to the issue at both a national and international level and seeks to discover how national cybersecurity guidelines can emerge in the cyber landscape in the coming years. The study was carried out as a qualitative method using a case study in Norwegian security authorities. In addition, interviews from security agencies in Norway and document analysis of published documents have been used to obtain empirical data in the thesis. Keywords: National guidelines, Cybersecurity framework, Cybersecurity regulation, Certification.
