ARCON and DNV Cyber announce partnership to strengthen identity security capabilities

BERLIN/MUMBAI/HØVIK, March 12th, 2026 - Global identity security technology vendor ARCON and DNV Cyber have formed a new partnership that will strengthen ARCON's presence in the Nordics and further enhance DNV Cyber's identity security services portfolio. The collaboration brings together ARCON's recognized strengths in privileged access management (PAM) with DNV Cyber's deep expertise in safeguarding identity security in critical infrastructure and complex digital environments.

Identity security has become a foundational element of modern cybersecurity. As organizations accelerate digital transformation, adopt cloud services, and integrate IT and OT systems, identity has emerged as a primary attack surface. Threat actors increasingly exploit compromised credentials, unmanaged privileges, and identity fragmentation to gain access to critical systems. This development has made mature identity and access management solutions essential to cyber resilience, business continuity, and regulatory compliance.

Through this partnership, DNV Cyber will integrate ARCON's identity-focused technologies, including PAM, Converged Identity (CI), and Endpoint Privilege Management (EPM), into its service portfolio. ARCON's solutions provide scalable, policy driven controls designed to reduce unauthorized access, enforce least privilege models, and strengthen visibility across human and machine identities.

The partnership supports ARCON's continued expansion in a region with high cybersecurity maturity and strong identity governance requirements. As identity environments become increasingly complex, DNV Cyber is growing its ecosystem of strong partners that complement one another and enable tailored, future ready customer solutions.

"We are pleased to enter this partnership with DNV Cyber," said Anil Bhandari, CEO and CoFounder at ARCON. "Their experience in cybersecurity and identity management complements ARCON's technology, enabling us to support more organizations with integrated solutions that address today's evolving threat landscape."

"This partnership with ARCON reinforces DNV Cyber's commitment to expanding our capabilities within identity security," said Marek Rejmer, Director of Identity and Access management at DNV Cyber. "Identity security is growing rapidly in importance, and ARCON's product suite provides valuable new tools that help our clients secure access to their most important assets. Working with several technology partners ensures we can deliver flexible, resilient, and forward-looking identity services that meet diverse customer needs."

DNV Cyber remains focused on helping organizations identify, protect, detect, and respond to cybersecurity risks. By combining ARCON's technologies with its advisory and implementation capabilities, DNV Cyber will support customers in strengthening identity governance across IT and operational technologies.

ARCON continues to innovate across privileged access, identity convergence, entitlement management, and continuous risk assessment. Together, ARCON and DNV Cyber aim to provide organizations with modern, integrated solutions that enhance identity security and overall resilience.
