The most important factor in ensuring a digitally safer Finland is the people themselves. By keeping our own skills and those of our loved ones sharp, we make the whole country safer. Elisa participates in the #kansalaiskyberteko campaign, which shares the same important goal as us: we want to ensure digital safety, especially for children and older Finns. In terms of concrete actions, we organise digital security schools for children and information sessions for seniors, among other things. Now you too can get involved and help with your own citizen cyber act. 

Elisa and Elisians play an important role in ensuring the cyber security of Finns. By constantly practising how to respond to various cyber attacks, we prepare ourselves for real situations. Watch the video to see what cyber training is like at Elisa.

The number of online and phone scams continues to grow, and in many countries, they have already reached the point where people no longer want to answer phone calls from an unknown number. 

As a teleoperator, Elisa actively strives to take action to block online scams and to ensure that Finnish phone numbers remain reliable and safe in online and phone services.

Consumers can do a lot to protect their devices themselves and ensure their security by immediately applying security updates and changing any default passwords to strong new passwords.

Almost all of us have received phishing messages – emails, texts or phone calls trying to get us to put our important information in the wrong hands. If you can remember a few important pieces of advice, you will be able to recognise most scam attempts.
