customers' networks
TSOC is Telenor's 24-hour security centre. The
centre monitors network traffic to Telenor's
business customers in order to protect them
against network attacks. This can happen in two
ways. We can either gather data in Telenor's own
network, which is called "net-centric services". Or we
can provide so-called "customer-located services",
using sensors installed in the customers' networks.
The sensors gather and organise the network traffic
from strategic points. In both cases we submit the
data retrieved to a thorough analysis. Our analyses
are conducted both automatically and manually
so that we can better detect advanced network
attacks. When we have detected an attack we
notify the customer affected by it. TSOC staff are
all security experts with cutting-edge expertise in
various areas, and the professional environment
at the centre is regarded as one of the leading
specialist environments in Europe.
security in society
In addition to detecting and preventing unwanted
network activity in customer networks Telenor
also aims to contribute to increased information
security in society by sharing knowledge and
experience about security-related incidents and
our own findings. TSOC communicates tips and
advice to the public through several channels:
