The updated classification will correspond with the present state of the building trade in Finland. In order to chart the scale of updates required Statistics Finland and the Terminology Centre organized a questionnaire for the relevant interest groups in the turn of the year, and in 2017 the updating work shall continue based on the answers to the questionnaire.
Vocabulary of cyber security

The concepts will be given definitions and term recommendations in Finnish, Swedish and English. The definitions will be translated into Swedish and English at a later date. The terminology work began in May 2017 and the vocabulary will be ready for publication in the spring of 2018.
