Abstract
Finland’s Cyber Security Strategy has been revised in response to an evolving
operating environment in accordance with the programme of Prime Minister Petteri
Orpo’s Government. This revision accommodates the requirements imposed in the
cybersecurity directive (NIS2) and other relevant key strategies and reports. The aim is
to integrate the information defence entries of the Government Programme into the
strategic communications model and the Government Defence Report.
The goals of the cybersecurity strategy extend to 2035. The strategy includes strategic
objectives defined under four pillars, and common development measures for these
objectives.
The strategy was prepared under the leadership of the National Cyber Security
Director on a subcommittee of a project initiated by the Prime Minister’s Office on 8
March 2024 to develop an operating model for government security management.
This subcommittee included appointees from the Prime Minister’s Office, Ministry
for Foreign Affairs, Ministry of Justice, Ministry of the Interior, Ministry of Defence,
Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Education and Culture, Ministry of Agriculture and
Forestry, Ministry of Transport and Communications, Ministry of Economic Affairs
and Employment, Ministry of Social Affairs and Health, and Secretariat of the Security
Committee.
Nearly 100 organisations from the public and private sectors, the scientific community
and civil society participated in strategy preparation workshops.
