Estonia’s Cyber Security Policy

A year-and-a-half after the coordinated denial-of-service attacks against its government and commercial computer systems, Estonia has released a national cyber security strategy that includes details about the attacks and offers recommendations for preventing attacks in the future and for a global stance toward cyber security. The report identifies four “policy fronts”:

1) application of a graduated system of security measures in Estonia;

2) development of Estonia’s expertise in and high awareness of information security to the highest standard of excellence;

3) development of an appropriate regulatory and legal framework to support the secure and seamless operability of information systems;

4) and promoting international cooperation aimed at strengthening global cyber security.
