e-Estonia Programme for Cyber Security

This cybersecurity strategy for 2019-2022 is Estonia’s third national cybersecurity strategy document and defines the long-term vision, objectives, priority action areas, roles and tasks for the domain, being the basis for activity planning and resource allocation.

As a horizontal strategy, it involves all contributing stakeholders in Estonia: the public sector (both civilian and defence), essential service providers, sectoral entrepreneurs, and academia. The aim of this document is to agree on and create conditions for the implementation of a comprehensive, systematic and inclusive sectoral policy.

Estonia has by far the most advanced national ID card system in the world. Much more than a legal photo ID, the mandatory national card also provides digital access to all of Estonia’s secure e-services. In cooperation of SK ID Solutions and Cybernetica the so-called Smart ID was developed. Smart-ID is an app based new generation electronic identity designed to use conveniently on smart devices, while still keeping high level of security.

The Information System Authority (RIA) coordinates the development and administration of information systems ensuring the interoperability of the state’s information system, organises activities related to information security, and handles security incidents in Estonian computer networks. Information System Authority is within the administrative area of the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Communications.
