Christian Jarvan, Estonian Minister of Foreign Trade and Information Technologies, told about this in an interview with Ukrinform.

“Estonia understands that the risk of cyber attacks will always be part of the information society – a risk that must be taken very seriously. Being a digital society means being exposed to cyber threats. The main thing is to be aware of the risks and work on their mitigation. Yarvan, never 100% from cyber attacks “You can’t be protected, but you can minimize their negative impact on your services.”

The full-scale occupation since February 24 highlighted the significant intensification of cooperation between Estonia and Ukraine in this direction. The Estonian government is one of the most active providers of assistance and support to the Ukrainian authorities in defense against Russian cyber attacks.

“Estonia supported the continuity of Ukraine’s digital services in the cloud and from outside Ukraine, and the Estonian government and local technology companies provided financial support to Ukraine, including free equipment to monitor and counter cyberattacks,” Yarvan said.

As reported, since the beginning of Russia’s full-scale aggression, the Security Service has neutralized more than 1,200 cyber incidents and cyberattacks against state officials’ information systems and Ukraine’s critical infrastructure.
