Republic of Estonia

The Republic of Estonia is a country in Northern Europe in the Baltic region. It is bordered to the north by Finland across the Gulf of Finland, to the west by Sweden, to the south by Latvia, and to the east by the Russian Federation.

The military of Estonia is based upon the Estonian Defence Forces. The aim of Estonian National Defence Policy is to guarantee the preservation of the independence and sovereignty of the state, the integrity of its land, territorial waters, airspace and its constitutional order. At the moment the main strategic goals are to be able to defend the countries interests and development of the armed forces which would be ready to be interoperability with the other armed forces of NATO and European Union member states and also their capability to participate in NATO missions.

The Ministry of Defence and the Defence Forces have been working on a cyberwarfare and defence formation for some years now. In 2007 a military doctrine of an e-military of Estonia was officially introduced as the country was under massive cyberattack. The proposed aim of the e-military is to secure the vital infrastructure and e-infrastructure of Estonia. The main cyberwarfare facility is the Computer Emergency Response Team of Estonia (CERT), which was founded in 2006.
