TIETO26 Exercise \u2013 National Preparedness for the Information Society<\/strong>

TIETO is Finland\u2019s largest joint exercise bringing together companies and public authorities to strengthen cooperation and information sharing in the face of large-scale hybrid, cyber, and information disruptions. It also serves as a cross-sectoral exercise that helps companies enhance business continuity management, preparedness, and crisis communication capabilities in complex disruption scenarios.<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The TIETO26 Exercise \u2013 Strengthening the Resilience of the Digital Society<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The TIETO26 Exercise \u2013 Strengthening the Resilience of the Digital Society<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The functioning of society\u2019s security-of-supply\u2013critical operations and public communications depends on the companies that provide essential services and on their information systems. Broad-spectrum influence operations\u2014encompassing cyberattacks, disinformation campaigns, and physical actions\u2014can undermine societal resilience and, at their most severe, endanger the safety of citizens. Preparing a digital society requires close and seamless cooperation between companies, their customers, partners, and public authorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TIETO26 challenges companies with successive disruption scenarios and familiarizes them with joint practices developed together with authorities to support the restoration of operational capacity. Participating companies gain hands-on experience in information exchange across sectors and deepen their understanding of situational awareness as a cornerstone of disruption management. The exercise is a scenario-driven, strategic-level program conducted in four phases during 2026\u20132027.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A wide range of industries will participate, including key service providers from the telecommunications and ICT, security, and media sectors. Authorities responsible for these domains are also involved, alongside the National Emergency Supply Agency, the Finnish Transport and Communications Agency\u2019s National Cyber Security Centre, the Defence Forces, the Police, the Finnish Broadcasting Company Yle, and many other critical actors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The previous TIETO24 exercise brought together as many as 850 designated participants from over 170 real-world organizations. TIETO26 aims to once again gather a large and diverse group of participants to train in these crucial areas of information exchange and societal resilience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Supporting Continuity, Preparedness, and Cooperation through Training<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The TIETO26 exercise is designed to strengthen business continuity management, preparedness, and contractual cooperation between companies and authorities. Its goal is to foster a culture of collaboration and to develop joint operational models. At the same time, it identifies concrete needs for improving cyber incident response, which will be integrated into the daily practices of participating companies and, for example, into the National Emergency Supply Agency\u2019s Digital Security 2030<\/a><\/em> development program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our strength lies in the expertise of companies responsible for critical functions, combined with the ability of authorities to reinforce companies\u2019 operational capacity during crises through situational data, guidelines, and expert support. Together, serious disruptions can be detected more quickly, situational awareness can be established faster, and the ability to mitigate the impact of incidents and return to normal operations is enhanced. Close cooperation between companies also allows authorities to target their support more effectively in large-scale disruptions that affect multiple organizations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The TIETO26 exercise is organized by the Digipool of the National Emergency Supply Organization in cooperation with the National Emergency Supply Agency (NESA), the Finnish Transport and Communications Agency\u2019s National Cyber Security Centre (Traficom NCSC-FI), the Police, and the Defence Forces. The National Emergency Supply Agency is responsible for execution. TIETO exercises have been held in various formats every two years since the late 1970s, originally led by the Defence Forces. Since 2018, responsibility has rested with the National Emergency Supply Agency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exercise consists of four phases. The first two are structured as seminars, providing participants with up-to-date knowledge and practical insights into operating under disruption conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The content of Phases 1 and 2 highlights themes that should be reflected in companies\u2019 continuity plans when preparing for crises and disruptions: crisis team operating models, crisis communication, contractual preparedness, collaboration with third parties, as well as other current preparedness topics. These also include authorities\u2019 needs and expectations for cooperation, along with updates on relevant legislative changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Phase 3 consists of the so-called Intensive phase<\/em>, a three-day live two-sided role-play exercise. In this phase, companies\u2019 crisis management teams operate and make decisions based on the situational awareness they build. The teams are trained in comprehensive information sharing in its different forms \u2013 from subcontractors to customers, and all the way to the public sector actors. With accurate situational awareness, it becomes possible to make the right decisions to navigate through a crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
