Digital security is built together – Digital Security Week 30.9.–4.10.

The Digital and Population Data Services organizes the Digital Security Week for the fifth time. During Digital Security Week, we will learn important cyber and digital security skills. Digital Security Week, from 30 September to 4 October 2024, will feature fresh and insightful discussions with Finland's leading experts. See the week's programme and join the webinars!

This year, the theme of Digital Security Week is: We Build Digital Security Together! Digital devices and services enable new innovations that streamline our everyday lives and improve the quality of life in many ways. At the same time, we face threats that are constantly taking new forms. Data breaches and growing cybercrime challenge our daily lives and the functions of our organizations.

At the heart of it all is what we do as people: each of us build cyber and digital security. By working together, we can build a safer and more trustworthy society for all of us. Digital Security Week offers practical tips to do this. 

While the various threats of the digital world are increasingly emerging, we must not forget the opportunities of the digital world. This week, you will hear practical tips on how to make better use of your digital well-being, key online tools and services, and new opportunities for the future.
