Security Strategy in January 2016. The assessment emphasised the need to develop strategic management models for cyber security. On 14 March 2016, on the basis of the assessment, the Security Committee decided to update the Implementation Programme for Finland’s Cyber Security Strategy as an expression of the national ambition. The ambition will be demonstrated through leadership and by re-allocating resources. The first Implementation Programme for Finland’s Cyber Security Strategy, adopted in 2014, comprised altogether 74 measures assigned to ministries and, partly, to individual actors. The assessment identified significant impacts resulting from the following measures: • • • • • The Government Security Network (TUVE) project and the development of sector-independent ICT tasks, The National Cyber Security Centre established at the Finnish Communications Regulatory Authority (FICORA) and the development of associated CERT activities, The Development Project for the Central Government 24/7 Information Security Operations (SecICT) and the related improvement of monitoring and warning, The Development Project for Jyväskylä Security Technology (JYVSECTEC), and Cyber security courses organised by the National Defence Training Association of Finland. As a consequence of digitalisation and the required change management, business intelligence, artificial intelligence, robotisation and the Internet of Things, cyber security also plays an increasingly important role in securing society’s vital functions in the national and international operating environment. Digitalisation is a cross-cutting theme of the Government Programme and it is being implemented in several different projects. The Public Sector ICT unit at the Ministry of Finance is responsible for implementing the Government Programme’s key project “Public services will be digitalised”. In this context cyber security is viewed as an enabler of digitalisation; it must be built into all action and services. This will be accomplished by implementing two of the nine principles of digitalisation: “We will build easy-to-use and secure services” and “We will also serve in case of disruptions”. According to the vision of the of the Information Security Strategy for Finland, published by the Ministry of Transport and Communications in 2016, ‘the world’s most trusted digital business comes from Finland’. Finland is viewed as being in a good position to become known as a competent, successful and reliable country where it is safe to take hold of the opportunities brought about by digitalisation. By developing, offering and testing new models of business services and income generation that are based on the utilisation of digital information, it is possible to foster and accelerate economic growth. It is estimated that this will require trust in the new services, business models and market actors as well as there being a strong grip on the development of information security expertise and market development.
