Abstract
The geopolitical context in which Norwegian industry operates is changing rapidly. It is characterized by a multitude of hostile actors and new types of conflict. Security is now about much more than military threats to the state. The political, economic and financial dimensions of security are just as important. Security means financial security, energy supply, critical infrastructure, social security, and corporate security. The spectrum of conflict ranges from conventional war to influence operations, cyber-attacks and hybrid warfare. A number of non-state actors, with and without state support generate a broad range of risks. Technological development means that even small groups can cause great damage. It is often difficult to identify who is behind that attack, and to distinguish random events from malicious attacks before it is too late. This article deals with trends in international politics and the transition from a liberal international world characterized by globalization to a more uncertain and geopolitical world. It discusses the new threats that Norwegian business and industry face, and what this means for political risk and corporate security management. In order to secure continuity in operations, companies have to establish structures and procedures for risk analysis, crisis management and business continuity, and develop a security culture in the organization. It is the management’s responsibility to ensure that corporate security and risk management is integral part of operations.
