Let's take care of digital security together

Digital security affects everyone. In everyday life, we face situations where securing our own information and ensuring that our family can be safe online is something that we need to consider. At Elisa, we are constantly working to ensure that the network we maintain and the services we provide are safe to use. We also want to raise awareness of how you can use networks and services more safely.

Elisa joins #kansalaiskyberteko campaign

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 at a good level, we make the whole country safer. Elisa participates in the #kansalaiskyberteko campaign, which shares the same important goal with us: we want to ensure digital safety, especially for children and elderly Finns. As 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.
