Norwegian Cybersecurity Cluster ran a founder profile on FM CyberSecurity on March 1, 2025. Journalist Espen Amundrud Solhaug interviewed Fredrik Standahl and Maximilian Stiegler Sharoyan about leaving a larger firm, founding FM, and joining Norway's largest industry cluster for cybersecurity.

The piece runs through the early months of the firm. Demand outpaced our planning. We hired faster than expected. We chose the cluster as our knowledge-exchange anchor because the people there care about the craft, not just the contracts.

"We had prepared for a challenging startup phase. Instead we got a fantastic start, with assignments queued up." Fredrik Standahl, quoted in Norwegian Cybersecurity Cluster.

The article also covers our partner strategy and our hiring plan. We described FM as problem solvers who visualize cybersecurity and solutions in a new way. We also stated a position that has stayed with us since: give employees the freedom to make the calls they think are right.
