Operating area

Secure Communications

Other operating areas

To strengthen the stability and security of society, vulnerabilities in critical societal functions and infrastructure need to be reduced. This need is being further heightened by the rapid IT developments in society, the growing number of cybercrimes and increased information collection by foreign powers. Sectra has extensive experience of protecting society’s most critical communications, and is a trusted brand in the area of encryption and secure mobile communications.

Where we are headed

The operating area’s long-term ambition is to be a leading provider of advanced encryption systems, secure communication and critical cybersecurity solutions for society’s most important functions. We mainly focus on operations that handle sensitive information, including government authorities in the defense sector and other operations that require a high level of security. Ensuring that these players can execute their tasks in a secure manner increases the potential for an open, safe and stable society.

  • Sales of security-approved communication solutions to existing and new customers in Europe, particularly within Sweden and the Netherlands, the rest of the Nordic region as well as EU and NATO organizations.
  • Sales of customer-specific assignments. Focus on assignments that either provide important developments in expertise or are deemed to have significant potential to result in product sales.
  • Increase the customer base and volumes in critical infrastructure. Transform investments that have been made into sustainable profitability—partly through partnerships.
  • Ongoing development of the customer offering for secure remote work via VPN, smartphones/tablets and third-party applications with extra protection against access violations.
  • Increased cooperation with other companies to meet our customers’ security-related needs.

Some activities have the potential to make positive contributions to the earnings trend within one or two years, but the majority have a longer time horizon.
