Estonia to propose minimum spending target for cybersecurity investments

Today [7 September], the Tallinn Digital Summit will start and feature high-level speakers, such as the Prime Minister of Estonia, Kaja Kallas, the President of the European Council, Charles Michel, and the US Secretary of Commerce, Gina Raimondo.

It is expected that Estonia will propose a minimum investment target on cybersecurity. The idea would replicate what already exists for defence expenditures, with NATO’s 2% of GDP target. Estonia Minister of IT, Andres Sutt, is the driving force behind this idea. He already expressed these views during the Paris Cyber Week last June.
