Cooperation

The fact that the comprehensive security model applied in Finland covers all levels and actors of society is its strength. Together with the central government, the authorities, business operators, regions and municipalities, such actors as universities, research institutions, organisations, other bodies and individuals form a network of comprehensive security in which the sharing of information, setting of joint objectives and commitments to cooperation can take place in a flexible manner. In this model, all actors taking part in coordinated security work or security activities closely supporting it are security actors. Individual citizens also play an important role in independent preparedness and in enhancing the resilience of Finnish society.
