– Looking for Norwegian technology
Johnsen think Russia and China among others are looking to steal advanced Norwegian technology. He thinks Norwegian companies are not able to protect themselves against.
– Norwegian businesses are mainly small businesses without either IT manager or any security officer who themselves are able to handle this here. So this is one thing I think we need to try to deal with as a nation, he said.
Johnsen sits in police strategy selection for handling cybercrime and will go on to get more agencies to cooperate.
– I think especially a collaboration between industry and the police, and perhaps other authorities responsible for cyber security in Norway, will be a prerequisite for being able to handle such a widespread and serious problem that we face here.
