Information security and cybersecurity

Our society has rapidly digitalised. Almost all of our information and messages move through digital networks and platforms. The electronic services of public administration and companies collect data on each of us.

A digital environment refers to all information systems in which information is processed in different ways using software, devices or networks. Examples of digital environments include instant messaging services, banking and payment services, e-learning environments, social media platforms and production management systems.

Digital services and the information systems supporting them often consist of technical solutions, such as

• application components
• information networks
• software and
• computing capacity.

The information and cybersecurity of these technical solutions is a key part of digital security as a whole.

This section includes materials and tools for support in safeguarding information security, cyber security and different technologies, such as cloud services and applications.
