THE NORWEGIAN CYBER SECURITY CULTURE

June 9, 2016

It is a well-known fact that all Norwegians are online. Through this study we have found that Norwegians are confdent that they are able to identify cyber-threats. Still more than half the population is worried falling victim to online fraud and computer viruses. They willingly accept state monitoring, but do not trust that the Police can help them if they fall victim to cyber-crime. On the other hand, almost half the population support vigilante and private law enforcement online. What does this tell us about Norwegian Cyber Security Culture and the prospects of successful digitization of public services and private businesses? Human factors have long time been recognized as fundamental to cyber security. But so far efforts to understand this important phenomenon has been limited in scope. NorSIS sees mapping cyber security culture as a way of understanding yourself, your company and your country. This project has been conducted to provide new insight in Norwegian Cyber security culture. Our goal is to develop effective cyber security practices and improve national cyber resilience. The results will also give indications on what security regulations the Norwegian people will see as acceptable and how to implement them.
