Growth doesn’t wait in cybersecurity – and neither does Defend Iceland. Expanding beyond its home market was a logical move, and Denmark was naturally and quickly selected as the company’s first international destination.
Denmark’s market matches Defend Iceland’s technological edge and pace. With a stable economy, high digital maturity, and a regulatory environment aligned with other advanced markets, the company found the ideal place to land – and scale.
“We’ve seen how powerful it can be when the ethical hacker community and companies work together. Now we want to bring that vision to Denmark and create a platform that meets the needs of the Danish market,”
– Theódór Ragnar Gíslason, founder and CEO of Defend Iceland, in a company statement.

Strengthening Denmark’s cyber ecosystem
The company’s Danish entity, “Defend Denmark”, adds muscle to an already strong cybersecurity landscape. By creating opportunities for ethical hackers and professionals, the company helps develop local talent and raise industry standards.
Defend Iceland worked with Copenhagen Capacity and Invest in Denmark’s advisors during the company’s expansion process.
“Cyber threats are becoming increasingly sophisticated and pervasive, and with one of the most digital societies in the world, Denmark is far from immune. We are therefore very proud to have assisted Defend Iceland expansion into Denmark. Their transparent and collaborative approach to cybersecurity is a strong match for the Danish market and an important contribution to strengthening our digital resilience,”
– Asbjørn Overgaard, CEO at Copenhagen Capacity.
At a time when cyber threats are growing in both frequency and sophistication, this investment reinforces Denmark’s digital resilience, which is benefiting businesses and public institutions alike.
