Oslo, Norway (November 20, 2023) - Omny, creators of the market-leading industrial cybersecurity software, announced today a new partnership with Advansia to accelerate progress towards securing Norway’s industrial organizations and physical infrastructure from cyber attacks.
Advansia provides a broad range of project management and advisory services, which includes one of the largest security advisory environments in Norway.
“As digitalization expands and the geopolitical landscape is changing, the risk of cyber attacks on critical infrastructure is increasing,” says Omny CEO Sigvart Voss Eriksen. “Many people don’t know that a disproportionate number of attacks are happening right here in the Nordics. Whether this is due to our location in Northern Europe, our role as supplier of energy to Europe, or our comparatively high level of digitalization, one can debate. Whatever the cause, it is time for action and we are excited to partner up with Advansia’s team of security experts to strengthen the cyber defenses of Norwegian industrial players.”
Industries that were traditionally offline are connecting their operational technology at an increasing rate. Digitalization brings a wealth of opportunities when it comes to improving operational efficiency, however digitization also exposes vulnerabilities that many businesses are not currently prepared for.
“We are excited to join forces with Omny as we complement each other both in terms of capacity and expertise in the security area and our commitment to quality. The collaboration opens doors to new possibilities – both for us and our clients,” says Christopher Klepsland, Advansia CEO.

We are bringing together professional teams that strengthen our customers' capacities to withstand a demanding security landscape and prepare them for the years to come,” says Jack Fischer Eriksen, Head of Security Consultancy at Advansia.
