Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolTor Skaar is a Security Advisor and architect with 15 years of experience designing and securing networked systems, now focused on protecting industrial infrastructure for Norwegian critical operators. With a Master’s in Network and Distributed Systems from the University of Oslo and deep hands-on roots in routing, datacenter and Linux stack operations, he blends low-level networking expertise (BGP/OSPF, MPLS) with industrial security frameworks like IEC 62443 and NIST SP 800-82. He has led security architecture efforts across major organizations including Telenor, hospital IT, and the national grid operator Statnett, and previously ran core network operations and peering services as CTO of a fast-growing ISP. Practical troubleshooting, infrastructure hardening and incident mitigation are complemented by a background in automation, virtualization and scripting—skills he cultivated while managing production-grade networks and on-call services. Notably, his career spans both product-facing consulting and operational ownership, giving him an uncommon perspective on how secure designs survive real-world operations.
