EU Cybersecurity Regulations Propel Swedish Businesses Toward 5G-Enhanced Security Solutions

Recent developments in cybersecurity, driven by the EU's NIS2 and DORA regulations, are swiftly reshaping how Swedish businesses approach cyber resilience and operational security. Christer Widmark, a network and security specialist at Telenor Företag, underscores a critical shift—companies must move from mere awareness of cyber threats to active, robust security measures, recognizing that no business is exempt from intrusions (141575, 141827).

Telenor is at the forefront with its 5G network designed to meet stringent security standards while offering operational flexibility, especially vital for hybrid work models. Their Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) platform integrates network and security services within a cloud environment, ensuring businesses can securely access internet resources, cloud services, and private data centers regardless of physical location (141575, 141827).

Beyond security, Telenor’s 5G infrastructure provides resilience, maintaining stable and secure connections even in crisis situations. This network supports a diverse range of enterprises, from small to large, facilitating a transition away from traditional Wi-Fi or fiber connections to a national data network enriched with advanced features like Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA). This hybrid solution bolsters both security and operational efficiency (141575, 141827).
