Cybersecurity knowledge capital is protected The critical knowledge capital of the public and private sectors must be identified and protected. Knowledge capital in cybersecurity includes services, information systems, expertise, processes, patents, trademarks and partnerships. Active information exchange and informed decision-making by various actors is an effective way to decide the cybersecurity development measures that are required to protect knowledge capital and ensure that society functions. Aiming for self-sufficiency in cryptographic technology The confidentiality, integrity and availability of nationally important data repositories under all circumstances is an important aspect of cyber resilience. Progress in quantum technology threatens to break modern encryption algorithms and endanger datasets that should be protected nationally. One of Finland’s strategic objectives is to be self-sufficient in critical cryptographic technologies and prepared for the quantum threat by the beginning of 2030. This requires the development of quantum-proof cryptography solutions and other nationally critical cryptographic technologies in Finland, coupled with reinforcement of comprehensive cryptographic technology capabilities in such fields as manufacturing, research, computing, reverse engineering and organisation. National work to develop quantum-proof cryptography will also accommodate common EU policy measures and regulations, and requirements imposed by NATO. 26
