Cyber Command

The Cyber Command ensures that the Estonian Defence Forces can operate effectively and securely in cyberspace and the wider information environment. It provides and protects the information technology and communication systems that are essential for military command and everyday operations.

The Cyber Command is responsible for cyber defence, maintaining situational awareness in cyberspace, and planning and conducting cyber operations. It also carries out information operations and strategic communications and provides essential support to the Headquarters of the Estonian Defence Forces.
