The asymmetrical threat posed by cyber attacks and the inherent vulnerabilities of cyberspace constitute a serious security risk confronting all nations. For this reason, the cyber threats need to be addressed at the global level. Given the gravity of the threat and of the interests at stake, it is imperative that the comprehensive use of information technology solutions be supported by a high level of security measures and be embedded also in a broad and sophisticated cyber security culture.
It is an essential precondition for the securing of cyberspace that every operator of a computer, computer network or information system realises the personal responsibility of using the data and instruments of communication at his or her disposal in a purposeful and appropriate manner. Estonia’s cyber security strategy seeks primarily to reduce the inherent vulnerabilities of cyberspace in the nation as a whole. This will be accomplished through the implementation of national action plans and through active international co-operation, and so will support the enhancement of cyber security in other countries as well. In advance of our strategic objectives on cyber security, the following policy fronts have been identified:
- application of a graduated system of security measures in Estonia;
- development of Estonia’s expertise in and high awareness of information security to the highest standard of excellence;
- development of an appropriate regulatory and legal framework to support the secure and seamless operability of information systems;
- promoting international co-operation aimed at strengthening global cyber security.
