The event also emphasized the importance of crisis management processes, resilience-building steps, and risk management principles.

The partnership with the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) Finland is crucial in delivering this project, as it provides valuable experiences and feedback to further develop the Pure Framework. The Institute’s work is expected to have significant impacts beyond the Finnish sector, contributing to global efforts in mitigating hybrid threats and enhancing electoral integrity in the face of increasing cyber threats and misinformation.
