FM CyberSecurity in VG, cybersecurity is booming

VG Dine Penger ran an interview with Fredrik Standahl on March 5, 2026. Journalist Martin Hall Larsen covered FM CyberSecurity’s first year, our hiring pace, and what makes cybersecurity one of Norway’s strongest labor markets in 2026.

The piece focuses on the economics. Modern tooling has lowered the cost of starting a security firm. Demand for senior cybersecurity expertise in Norway has outrun supply. FM hired faster than planned in the first year because customer assignments queued up.

VG’s headline framing: “Million salary and uncapped bonus. The industry is booming.” That framing is VG’s, not ours. Our point inside the piece is narrower. The window to start a Norwegian cybersecurity firm with a senior team is open, and the tools to do it are cheap.

The full interview sits behind VG’s paywall.
