Content of the Implementation Programme 2017–2020 Finland’s Cyber Security Strategy defines the Cyber Security Vision as well as ten strategic guidelines according to which the national cyber security will be developed. According to the Vision: • • • Finland can secure its vital functions against cyber threats in all situations. Citizens, the authorities and businesses can effectively utilise a safe cyber domain and the competence arising from cyber security measures, both nationally and internationally. By 2016, Finland is the global forerunner in cyber threat preparedness and in managing the disturbances caused by these threats. As regards the third item of the vision, the goal set for 2016 will now become a standing goal: Finland will be the global forerunner in cyber threat preparedness and in managing the disruptions caused by them. According to available international comparisons and evaluations Finland is at present among the top ten countries in terms of cyber security preparedness and the progress of its implementation. The strategic guidelines of cyber security preparedness are: 1. Create an efficient collaborative model between the authorities and other actors for the purpose of advancing national cyber security and cyber defence. 2. Improve comprehensive cyber security situation awareness among the key actors that participate in securing the vital functions of society. 3. Maintain and improve the abilities of businesses and organisations critical to the vital functions of society as regards detecting and repelling cyber threats and disturbances that jeopardise any vital function, along with their recovery capabilities, as part of the continuity management of the business community. 4. Make certain that the police have sufficient capabilities to prevent, expose and solve cybercrime and those that benefit from it. 5. The Finnish Defence Forces will create a comprehensive cyber defence capability for their statutory tasks. Implementation Programme for Finland’s Cyber Security Strategy for 2017–2020 7
