Lean organization, high demands
SkiStar strives to stay at the cutting edge by providing their customers with smart, comfortable, and functioning IT services that enhance the guest experience.

The challenge is to find the right IT security technologies that remain relevant against constantly evolving and new technical threats, are efficient to manage, and simultaneously support SkiStar’s agile and continuously enhanced IT service platform.
Partnership with NetNordic
To meet these challenges, SkiStar has chosen NetNordic as one of its strategic partners. By carefully selecting and implementing security technologies, they have built a robust and flexible security infrastructure that enables proactive threat management. NetNordic has helped SkiStar to:

For us at SkiStar, security is not just a technical issue, it's a prerequisite for us to offer our guests safety and a smooth experience. We actively work to spread the risks and avoid putting all our eggs in one basket. NetNordic is one of our strategic partners helping us stay ahead in a constantly changing threat landscape.
