The Estonian Information Security Association (EISA) founded in 2018 to advance cross-sectoral cooperation in Estonia between private sector, academia and the government. The joint effort intends to formalise existing ties between the cybersecurity partners in Estonia, boost collaborative participation, and influence the European and international policies on cybersecurity. Of the 10 member organisations of EISA 4 are also part of the CHESS consortium: UTARTU, TalTech, Guardtime and CYBER.
