Tietoviikko reports that Finland (my home country) is the world’s best IT country according to World Economic Forum study The Global Information Technology Report 2013. According to the study, Finland is the world’s number one country when it comes to the economy’s ability to use information technology to competitiveness and prosperity. Finland has toppled Sweden from the top spot in a ranking of economies that are best placed to benefit from new information and communication technologies (ICTs). The question still remains how this result was got because there are many things in Finland ICT that are are far from very good, so are other countries just much lousier on those aspects?
At the core of the report, the Networked Readiness Index (NRI) measures the preparedness of an economy to use ICT to boost competitiveness and well-being. In this edition, Finland (1st), Singapore (2nd) and Sweden (3rd) continue to lead the NRI, with the Netherlands (4th), Norway (5th), Switzerland (6th), the United Kingdom (7th), Denmark (8th), the United States (9th) and Taiwan, China (10th) completing the top 10.
Global Information Technology Report 2013 has a nice map that visualizes the network readiness of different countries.

Kansanedustajaehdokkaiden digitaidoista ei kokonaiskuvaa

TIEKE attempted to clarify the MP candidates’ digital skills and invited the candidates to participate in the information society skills of general measures, but test the theme of Finland digitalized. Testing was to raise awareness of the need for IT skills in the digital society and political decision-makers and citizens alike.
Candidate Survey results were, however, laihanlaisiksi. Responses were received from less than six per cent of the candidates, so far-reaching generalizations of the results can not be done. Equivalence of the back is certainly a number of reasons.

Finnish open source Silicon Valley – to do almost finished!
Timo Väliharju, COSS Association
Software development in the last decade, developed a strong communal direction. Software development risks shared model, which is more commonly known as open source. In developing the product, which is an open license, including GPL, is shared by all, so that the produced software and its code can be modified and used for their own purposes.
In addition, it can be used to create software for a service-based business operations by providing a specific open source software maintenance, support, custom programming services, training, content, or a variety of customer brand with the graphical layouts. In principle, the time straightforward. Action does not require much investment and thus can choose from over 300 000 of interest to the project and start a business.

A recent study by Finnish companies are lagging behind in utilizing cloud services. Information security consulting services to provide Trusteq Oy research company Innolink Research has commissioned report were asked firms whether they provide consumer-oriented online services from the cloud. 79 percent responded that do not offer.
- The Finnish business life digitalization has been seen in lowering costs, not services as a healer. Cloud Services and digitization is not seen as an opportunity to speed up and improve services even though the global increase the competitiveness of easy, user experience and digital service channels by investing in, “says Trusteq Development Director Jukka Lauhia.

Finnish companies do not want to pay for data security
oftware Entrepreneurs recent member survey says that the security will be held in Finland software built-in feature, not in addition to. What is worrying is the fact that data security and data protection is not, for example, public calls for tender even always required and will not be willing to pay.
The domestic large companies as much as 79 per cent asked to provide power to the software company of the security or the level of protection. In public administration, the corresponding figure was 70 per cent of small and medium enterprises, only 60 per cent.
Separately, when asked about a third of the SMEs was willing to pay for security. In large companies, the figure was 45 per cent and 40 per cent of the public administration.
According to the survey, foreign buyers were on the other hand is just as bad or even worse with regard to public security claimants. A clear difference was, however, in the fact that foreign buyers of those who asked separately on data protection or data security in a purchase situation, were clearly willing to Finnish to pay for it.

Can I get information, kyber- or digital security?
Information security is designed to ensure the confidentiality of information storage, the integrity and availability of the guarantee. It should be emphasized that the public unclassified information may be operation of the organization very important. However, the information security is emphasized classified, to be kept secret within the meaning of the confidentiality concerns.
This can not be stressed too much staff continuing education and the importance of clear instructions. Personnel accused of famous weakest link in, I think, often without reason, but the reason lies in general in the fact that the organization has not been able to instruct, inform and educate
Cyber is information security and continuity management!
It may be best described by saying that the cyber security taken care of (business) safety of the operation, which consists of information security and continuity management.
Action is primarily an organization of business-related ICT, services, processes and automation necessary to safeguard the SLA service levels. Service levels should agree on the operational criticality and importance of which, respectively, the organization’s business needs to decide.
What about digital security?
In fact, I put digital security a priority to guarantee the personal safety-related factors, such as privacy, your identity management and organization from the perspective of data protection in the implementation of the sub-areas. What a wider spreads digitalization, the most significant of these things are coming! The digital security is an area that can take care of digitalisation and, hence, the birth of new large-scale integrated services security.
1 + 1 + 1 = 3
In practice, nothing herein described three areas is not enough in itself. For example, in all things (business) activities to take care of the information and cyber security, and if there is any way personal information or individuals as users etc., In the digital security. Thus, the data + cyber + digital security – we need them all!

Finnish 3d technology is a ground-breaking – “No one else in the world can not do this”
Finland developed 3D rendering technology makes it possible to create a three-dimensional model of the forest for each individual tree.
Tampere University of Technology (TUT) developed a 3D modeling method for quickly producing a huge amount of detailed information about the forest for each individual tree.
The modeling is based on laser scanning. For each tree generated millions of pixels measuring point data – can now for the first time to make a three-dimensional structural model for each tree.
Developed at TUT 3D modeling technology makes it possible to create a three-dimensional model of the forest for each individual tree. More precise information on what kind of trees in Finnish forests grow, to facilitate the planning of forest management and forest industry to improve cost-efficiency.
Finland’s forests are an important natural resource, and it is growing more than 100 million cubic meters per year. If we know exactly what kind of wood forests to grow, we are able to improve forest management and to make more precise informed decisions about the use of wood resources.
Tampere University of Technology is involved in the development of national forest infrastructure Forest Big Data project. It steps up methods to be acquired and processed information about the Finnish forest trees and their growth conditions.

Parliament, the police and city websites are threatened – Turku prepares for harassment
Finnish cities, the authorities and the Council of State are threatened with denial of service attacks, warns Finnish Communications Regulatory Authority Kyberturvallisuuskeskus. The matter is Promoted by the internationally well-known hacker group.
Among other things, Turku, Pori, Tampere and Joensuu cities website activity has been threatened. Similarly, the police and government services can be compromised. The preparedness plan, there is also a wider harassment case.
- We have informed service providers and our own staff. The staff is, inter alia, have been through a contingency plan. It explains how cases like this should work, says the city of Turku IT Services at Jari Nevalainen.
- Denial of Service Attack does not endanger the information that the service itself is inside. Attack prevent users browsing the website. For example, the attack on the bank’s website is displayed so that the banks can not be accessed Tarhonen says.
- In such situations, it is quite tricky to design it, what kind of threat is about. For example, the OP Bank and Nordea recently focused on network attack was apparently carried out by just two people, says the IT Service Manager Jari Nevalainen, the City of Turku.
State actors and urban pages on the Internet threatened to interfere with the internationally well-known hacker group’s name. A hacker or hackers threatening denial of service attack, among other things, Turku, Pori, Tampere and Joensuu cities, as well as the Government, Parliament, and police websites. Kyberturvallisuuskeskus attack risks assessed as mild.
- Motive for the attack is very likely to cause interference, but also to get publicity.

Information security testing specialist Codenomicon told reporters last week that the US Synopsys is buying the entire share capital. Last year, more than two billion dollars in revenue collected by the software giant plans to integrate company from Oulu products into previously purchased Coverity supply. The aim is to help businesses protect themselves against the launch cyber-attacks.
“A foreign buyer can be found for Codenomicon was not a surprise,” said Finnish security industry cluster leader Timo Kotilainen.
“Codenomicon is one of Finland’s security cluster of the most exciting companies. It has been great to follow in their footsteps towards an ever wider range of success. Codenomicon people have invested boldly to internationalization, it is specially made them visible and interesting ”
He points out that Finland’s long history of data security is not, unfortunately, in the investment activities.
“It is of course quite a shame that the Investor and industrial buyer candidates, are mainly from outside Finland.”
There are a lot of security know-how. Still we have international buyers interest services companies?
“There are endless longer. It is clear. But on the other hand, this certainly was not the last acquisition. New companies should not be able to give birth at a faster pace, “says Kotilainen.
“Fortunately, we have programs that support the field of innovation. For example, Digilen Cyber Trust program, which finally got the financing. The key, however, are companies themselves.”

In another possible scenario, the Finnish companies take on the role of industrial internet platforms and ecosystems, key players and then we can achieve the investment of four billion euros and 16 000 jobs growth.

The data from the machine to the cloud
Internet of things is no longer just a vision. It smells of welding smoke, rattles workshop crane and throb cargo ship engine room. It requires sensors, platforms and analytics – and can save the Finnish industry.
The worker grasps Peikko Group’s factory in Lahti terminal welding system. It is a smartphone-looking, but the bigger device.
Welder by scanning a barcode reader set of tags: identity, manual welding, weld, ball of yarn sulatuseränumeron and the type of wire and the gas mixture.
When the arc is ignited, the machine automatically stores the voltage, current and wire feed speed variation. Data is transferred via the WLAN network connection to the cloud when the seal has been made.
For example, if the welder using the wrong voltage or is not sufficiently qualified, the system blabbed by sending notice the discrepancy. Then the welding coordinator may knock on the shoulder.
This is a disaster, which is called depending on the method of calculation of third or fourth industrial revolution. Information technology and software will be gradually integrated into all the equipment and machines for the industry.
The guesswork out of knowing
Kemppi’s Lahti-based product slogan is “stop guessing and start knowing”. It describes it, from industrial on the Internet is – or should be about. Both the customer and the equipment manufacturer will benefit from the data will be used more efficiently.
“But Did we know are doing industrial internet, when we developed our product? No, we did not know, ”
Kemppi was collected welding data for a long time. The company was born little by little understanding of what the market needs. Customers wanted the welders would be more efficient and make better quality results.
“In many cases it is the customer’s reputation. The customer does not want the roller coaster will be down and dozens of people are dying, ”
Arc System makes every seam traceable, even if a worldwide operating sub-contractors. The customer often requires high quality output than the official norms.
Significant savings are also created when the documentation automated. Welders mean without Kemppi system next to the welded seam in chalk on the same data that Arc System recorded digitally. Liitukynäilyt must then be separately put together and recorded. For example, when an oil rig is completed, the front is a couple of months in length documentary voluntary.
“Oh, think about how robust, reliable and profitable traditional model,” says Kemppi.
“If this game does not start, it is a big risk.”
The mere savings in repair costs and documentation of deadly Kemppi according to the system price up together in a big project.
Kemppi is a manufacturer of industrial means of production company. Internet of things has created a business model on new dimensions. Many other companies have only just started digitalization adventure.
The crane manufacturer Konecranes decided four years ago to head the industrial tightly to the Internet. The products are then consciously equipped so that they can be monitored remotely. In practice, cranes added sensors and network connections.
Remote monitoring or the sensors are not in themselves create an industrial-Fi. The business will start to benefit when the sensor data is analyzed.
Konecranes uses large part of the collected data, the development of customer practices. Data provides the same company a significant source of information that helps product development and the development of product offerings. The customer sees all the time its own data cloud browser.
“Customer owns the data, but we have a license to use it.”
Factory Internet rebound many at the mouth of the Finnish industry to be saved. Finland has, for example, last year’s survey indicates that in the technology industry with strong skills needed to succeed.
“Finland is exactly the kind of expertise that is needed for the implementation of industrial solutions for the Internet, such as mobile and user interface expertise. We also have a good industrial spearhead companies that are leaders in their own territory

The social mind IT industry outlook for the Viitasaaren by relatively stable, with no major staff reductions have in the air.
“The big picture is, however, is that the bigger companies are reducing the kind of expertise, which is elsewhere than in Finland, and SMEs hire more people for very specialized areas of expertise,”
Number of employees amount of information technology companies in Finland fell by three per cent, or 1,500 employees last year. Throughout the year there were an average of 53 000 at the end of March,

Smart Label protect valuable items
VTT has developed together with EU partners in the project with an electronic security sticker that can be used in the future to protect the value of shipments and increase product safety. Security sensors by means of a sticker with the sender and the recipient can ensure, for example, that the product packaging is intact and the original product.
In the past, the corresponding electronics are connected simply by pressing to a plastic sticker, but VTT’s methods can now also manufactures environmentally-friendly paper security labels.
VTT has developed a roll-to-roll technology electronic circuits and sensors can be connected directly, pressing the wide range of media and thus to produce new types of safety stickers for sealing packages and ensuring the authenticity of the products.
Security label consists of a paper substrate, which is connected to the radiator and two colored LED light. Label the indicator light indicates the opening situation, whether the consignment previously opened during transport.
VTT showed ropas project that electronics roll-to-roll print on is also suitable for the manufacture of security paper labels.

Leaders admit: “We are not prepared to digital in the future”
Gartner and IDC, by 2020, more than seven billion people and at least 30 billion units are produced by 44 trillion gigabytes of data.
It quickly lead to a situation where almost all the issues relating to people’s lives are controlled information. Talking about the emergence of the digital generation.
Although companies know that all this information would be possible to get the business benefits of fresh Information Generation: Transforming the Future, Today survey, half of the respondents admit that their attempts to know what should be done.
70 per cent of the respondents says that he gets new views of the data, but only 30 percent will be able to operate on the basis of this information.
Slightly more than half admit that they do not take advantage of the available data efficiently, or that they perish information overload.
Only a quarter of respondents says his company to be very good to change the data useful, therefore, for information.
“Roughly estimated, the situation in Finland is pretty much the same way with the rest of the world. That is, there is still much to do.”
Forced to change
In companies it is seen that adolescence is necessary due to the requirements of information generation.
For businesses to revolutionize the market itself instead of that they will be out of control into the hands of upheaval, they have to know how the following five things:
They have to anticipate new opportunities in the market, be transparent and reliable, as well as innovate with agility. In addition, they must take a unique and personalized experience and to act in real time.
Although company executives recognize the importance of these issues, they admit the same breath that only a very small number of the company’s operations, they realized very well and the whole organization-wide basis.
Only 12 per cent of companies able to anticipate new opportunities, by nine per cent to innovate with agility, 14 per cent provide transparent and reliable impression by 11 per cent to take individual lessons and 12 per cent in real time.

I measure myself
Measuring the state of one’s health is gaining popularity. But can, for example, recovering from serious diseases to benefit the health of technology development?
OTOMETRI Absorption spectrophotometry meter offers a helping hand to troubled parents. It measures the eardrum moves. If the eardrum does not move normally, it is necessary to go to a doctor for diagnosis. Otometri is one example of the young Finnish health technology companies, from whom much is expected. The patient’s and family’s time and effort in addition to saving, it can save public funds, if it helps to reduce unnecessary visits to the health center doctors.
Health Technology in general is now going strong. Last year, the health technology’s share of Finland fading in high-tech exports accounted for nearly half, to EUR 1.8 billion. Industry production of 95 per cent is exported. The main export destinations are the United States, Germany and China.
400 companies and about 10 000 employees work in the field of Healthcare Technology Association Fihtan model. The largest companies have Planmeca 900 employees, as well as GE Healthcare, which employs 700 people in Finland. Range of products manufactured by enterprises covered by the health technology is wide: patient monitoring devices, X-ray and imaging equipment, dental equipment, diagnostic equipment and healthcare furniture.
In recent years, in addition to equipment intended for use by healthcare professionals to prepare for Finnish companies has risen to smaller businesses aimed at the consumer market.
Why is health technology emerges right now? Health Savings pressures increase. Senior citizens are afraid to raise the level of public health care costs, which society can not afford. Smartphones, cloud computing, sensors and advanced computing technologies have made it possible to smart, to make use of health data products and services in the construction of a reasonably low cost.
At the same time, people have access to more and more measurement data for their own health. Many are used to measure their performance smartphone with free sports physical applications. Many are used to measure their performance smartphone with free sports physical applications. Also, the activity indicators wrists are commonplace, and some Finnish employers offer them to their employees, for example, as part of its exercise program.

Internet of things made available
Factory Internet has recently been much talk. In what way, then the world will be better after three years?
- There are a lot of intelligence to production equipment and technology. Currently, information is limited and information is a number. Now the aim is to get for the process critical data in the cloud and control from there – that is to create a genuine internet of things, Antti Niemelä says.
- We Finns have traditionally good technology development, but the practical application of limping, Ville Rauhala continues.
At the moment, information and communication technology have advanced at home and in factories. The new type of control is the most advanced entertainment-electronics.
- For example, wireless communication is in homes every day, but the industry still prefer the wire is pulled, Antti Niemelä concretize the current state of the industry.
Industry is not necessarily in the future in large plants but many units in different parts of Europe. Traditional factory perception changes when the production assembly of components. Efficient logistics solutions increase value. Internet of things will help here as well.
- The majority of industrial internet technology could in future become Europe. Even now, the technology used in mines 70 per cent comes from Finland or Sweden. Why is not the situation would be the same here too, Ville Rauhala sue.
A small setback in the preparation of Mantis was seen as Volvo’s withdrawal from the project were the Swedes out completely. At the same time remained out of showing your traditional partner, the University of Luleå, which annoys the project engineers to some extent.
The most economically lean times, and tougher competition are VTT and university research partners such as industry more and more important. This has also been the Lapland AMKissa and the importance of maintenance research has been recognized.

Domestic cyber-crime – no more tinkering
Information and cyber safety may sound like a distant cyberspace fictional story when it reads online news headlines. But I do not feel like it after losing money through online scam.
The crime – either online criminal – not worth! Then why do so many people think that the use of the internet crimes and various types of wild experiments online would be extenuating circumstances?
One reason is probably the fact that online crime, which does not use guns or knives, and which can engage in a home on the couch tablets hiplaten in broad daylight, does not seem so real. Found online Google instructions can affect and even declares that in fact is it is nothing criminal here.
Wake – just like when operating online anyway, if one of the economic offer or advantage seems too good to be true, it usually is a hoax.
Why cybercrime is growing?
Net increase in crime may be due to its “odors and distaste,” but also ignorance. The second reason is its ease; the web can be found in the instructions for implementing various cyber crimes, and to top it all of these guidelines are promised non-existent caught. In addition, if the user does not have the necessary know-how themselves, and it is possible to buy a simple and cheap online the necessary services.
Implementation Denial of Service attack does not require its own botnet network or large-scale data centers, but they can all be rented. Network criminals have even more modern and more sophisticated tools available and facilities on offer than in most organizations.
Every time you are about to give online any personal information or passwords, not to mention information related to bank accounts or other payment activities, think twice, so you do not get scammed. If you are not 100% sure about it, where and why you have information to give, do not give up on them! You must first activate the phone even if the connection body, in which data queries to ensure its existence and the reasons for the inquiry.
