Orange Cyberdefense Swedish OT experts strengthen industry cybersecurity globally

Orange Cyber Defense The focus on Operational Technology (OT) security has quickly become an international success. Over the past year, the Swedish OT team has grown to become one of the most sought-after expert groups both in Sweden and abroad. As industry accelerates its digitalization, so do the demands from new regulations such as NIS2 and Cyber Resilience Act (CRA). This creates a growing need for specialists who can unite people, process and technology.

Swedish OT team leads the global effort

The Swedish OT team is led by Carsten Lyth, who has extensive experience in industrial systems, programming, commissioning and management of activities with focus on industrial automation.

Together we have built a highly competent and experienced OT team in Sweden, and we are now seeing how our expertise is in demand globally,” says Carsten Lyth, Business Area Manager OT Security at Orange Cyber Defense. “Our way of working is based on the interaction between people, process and technology, and this is where we often support colleagues in other countries with advice and methodology.”

Holistic perspective that creates global demand

The team's working method is based on OT Security Assessments (current status analyses) and tailor-made solutions that are adapted to the needs of each business. Many industrial companies still struggle with lack of segmentation and network hygiene between IT and OT, which can lead to serious vulnerabilities.

Through a systematic and operational security work helps the Swedish OT team companies to strengthen their resilience and achieve compliance with international standards. This methodology has contributed to a growing global demand on their expertise.

"We follow our Swedish customers around the world and support them on site with current situation analyses and advice," says Carsten. Our focus is always on the Swedish market, but we also help companies in Europe and the rest of the world. Our strength is that we come from the OT side. We are not IT specialists who learned OT, but OT experts who work with OT environments and understand the risks that arise in more connected systems.

Cybersecurity for more industries than manufacturing

The need for OT security exists far beyond the traditional manufacturing industry. The Swedish OT team at Orange Cyber Defense currently consists of several specialists who work full-time with OT security in a number of sectors, including energy, transport, logistics and construction.

Common to all assignments is a clear focus on combining technology, processes and people to build long-term resilience. This human-centric approach has become a key factor behind Orange Cyberdefense's growing reputation in OT security globally.

Expanding the team for the future of industrial cybersecurity

Thanks to strong demand both in Sweden and internationally Orange Cyberdefense is now expanding its Swedish OT team. The company's goal is to help industries worldwide protect their critical systems and enable secure digital transformation.

As industrial systems become increasingly interconnected, the risks of cyberattacks also increase. Orange Cyberdefense's mission is to mitigate these risks through advanced security analyses, strategic consulting and technical solutions that protect both legacy and new OT environments.

By focusing on the interaction between people, process and technology Orange Cyberdefense wants to strengthen the industry's resilience and create security for the digital society of the future.
