Prevention

The Information System Authority organises prevention activities in the field of cyber security. We issue alerts, organise trainings, and provide recommendations on how to prevent or reduce the impact of cyber incidents.

We issue alerts to the public on current threats and security vulnerabilities, give the providers of vital services sectoral or trend-based warnings and recommendations on how to avoid threats.

To improve cyber hygiene, we compile advice for both young people and adults on how to protect a personal (smart) device, how to act online, and how to recognise common scams. We add more detailed explanations to the Information System Authority’s blog (in Estonian). We also take part in organising the European Cyber Security Month in October of each year.

Cyber security trainings also help to improve cyber hygiene, which is why we have organised these trainings for government officials, healthcare professionals, and local governments. Additionally, government employees and family physicians can test and improve their cyber knowledge in the digital learning environment Kübertest.

Cyber security portal itvaatlik.ee

The IT-vaatlik portal provides a collection of useful tips on how to improve your cyber security.

The purpose of the portal is to provide private individuals, entrepreneurs, and public sector employees with simple recommendations and practical advice on how to navigate safely in the cyber world. The recommendations are in Estonian, Russian and English.

The portal was originally created for the ‘Ole IT-vaatlik’ campaign, but was transformed at the end of 2021 into a comprehensive environment that provides simple cyber security recommendations.
