Moreover, our collaboration allows us to build a long-term, mutually beneficial technology partnership between our countries that gives a competitive edge to both sides. As a company that has been at the forefront of Ukraine's cyber defense, we see immense value in sharing our take-outs, approaches, and experience to increase cyber resilience across Finland, the Scandinavian region, and in Europe in general.
