Abstract
In light of the discussion on cyber intelligence, the content of this paper includes analysis of open source data in respect to a methodical assessment of Finland’s cybersecurity and cyberwarfare capabilities. The information related to Finland’s cyber preparedness and cybersecurity awareness is analyzed together with the relevant statistical factors in order to outline the relative stage of cyber capability development in the military context. Finland’s cybersecurity strategy, Finnish security and defense policy, and Finland’s academia perspectives on cyber operations realms are elaborated in parallel with the conceptualization on military doctrine adaptation in the cyber domain in order to describe Finland’s posture relative to potential cyberwarfare conflict engagements. In addition to this, the key stakeholders in cybersecurity governance are also enlisted, providing insight into the practical aspects of the nations’ efforts for cybersecurity maintenance and constant improvement.
