Nordic Horizons: Finland’s fight against Russian cyber attacks.
Finland has a particular source of propaganda to deal with in the shape of Russia. Misinformation attacks have focused on familiar issues like immigration and the EU, but also Finland’s …application to join NATO. Now the Finns have devised a strategy to teach all social groups to spot fake news and fact-check. This includes lessons in community colleges, digital literacy toolkits and a critical thinking curriculum in schools. As a result, online interference by Russia in Finnish politics appears to have waned.
Now other countries are looking to learn from Finland’s strategy.
Jussi Toivanen is a former adviser to the Finnish PM on media literacy and was recently appointed Head of Communications at Finland’s National Cyber Security Centre. He believes the country’s cyber security success is due to something deeper; its ‘superpower’ as a cohesive society with high levels of trust in institutions and the media, and a strong sense of identity rooted in human rights and the rule of law. But he also offers a stark insight – ‘the first line of defence is the Kindergarten teacher’…
Join Jussi for an evening of insights, history, advice and optimism on the Finnish fight against fake news. Thursday October 27 at 19.00 UK time. The event will include online chat via the livestream and Q&A. Chaired by Dan Wynn.
