Transportation and logistics in Norway is “critical infrastructure in motion.” It blends public safety, operational technology, large third-party ecosystems, and always-on services that citizens feel immediately when they fail—rail, metro, buses, freight flows, and global supply chains. Security leadership here is less about perfect prevention and more about resilient operations: keeping services running, protecting passenger and employee data, and managing supplier risk across complex digital and physical environments.
Adil Shaikh — Chief Information Security Officer, Vy
Adil Shaikh brings a Governance, Risk, and Compliance-first profile that fits a national transport operator where safety, uptime, and privacy obligations are non-negotiable. As Chief Information Security Officer at Vy, he builds on nearly a decade at mnemonic in Governance, Risk & Compliance roles—including serving as a Data Protection Officer—plus earlier exposure to security operations center work. That combination points to a CISO who can bridge board-level risk decisions with hands-on operational realities, especially in environments that rely heavily on vendors, platforms, and interconnected systems.
Ole-Birger Hestvik — Chief Information Security Officer, Sporveien
Ole-Birger Hestvik stands out for building security into the operating fabric of a large, city-critical transport organization. He has served as Chief Information Security Officer at Sporveien since 2017 and previously led information technology operations and security management, giving him deep familiarity with availability, platform modernization, and practical delivery. His emphasis on a “Practical Information Security Management System” and culture-driven security—balancing technology, governance (routines and management systems), and people (attitudes and culture)—is exactly the kind of approach that scales in transport operations where frontline adoption matters as much as policy.
Kjell Arne Høybakken — Chief Information Security Officer, AtB
Kjell Arne Høybakken’s experience reflects steady, long-term operational contribution—over a decade in information technology operations and information security within AtB. His focus on building and maintaining robust network infrastructure, troubleshooting issues, and implementing domain security protocols signals a CISO rooted in keeping daily systems stable and secure. In public transport, that operational reliability mindset is a competitive advantage: security succeeds when it improves consistency and reduces disruption, not when it becomes a separate “security layer” that slows delivery.
Aske Eksten — Head of Information Technology Security (Chief Information Security Officer), Scan Global Logistics
Aske Eksten brings global-scale enterprise delivery experience into a logistics security leadership role. As Head of Information Technology Security (Chief Information Security Officer) at Scan Global Logistics, he combines security and architecture leadership with prior responsibility for large, multinational application operations and vendor ecosystems—running major platforms (customer relationship management, enterprise resource planning, human resources, facilities systems, procure-to-pay) across many countries. That background maps well to modern logistics realities: sprawling toolchains, high supplier dependence, and the need to standardize controls without breaking business velocity.
What makes a Transport & Logistics CISO different in Norway
Norway’s transport and logistics CISOs are operating at the intersection of reliability, safety, and digital trust—where outages become public incidents and supplier ecosystems are unavoidable. The leaders above stand out for pragmatic program-building: Governance, Risk, and Compliance discipline; operational resilience; and security that’s designed to work for the people running the network every day.
