The panel studying the issue is currently in discussions about whether those requirements should be writ large and apply to all procurements made by the government, no matter how mundane they be, versus limiting them to just \u201cessential services.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOnce you limit [what can be bought and used], you would not be surprised that it runs through a very high requirement for all systems, and price will go up. That would be very costly,\u201d he said. \u201cSo, we have to find how to manage those risks, where it is needed and where it is not needed. Currently we are trying to define essential services and what would be [appropriate] to put those higher standards and requirements only for those essential services. That would be one solution.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Garisons said he did not yet know what the group will propose to the government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Baltic region is no stranger to cyberattacks. Neighboring Estonia was the victim of a prominent attack that shut down the country in 2007, leading to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fifthdomain.com\/2017\/11\/21\/estonian-official-cyber-must-be-part-of-core-military-education\/\" target=\"_blank\">major drive for security<\/a> in the highly-wired nation. Meanwhile, officials in Lithuania told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fifthdomain.com\/smr\/a-modern-nato\/2019\/07\/15\/a-necessary-rise-lithuania-bolsters-its-cybersecurity-catching-the-attention-of-other-nations\/\" target=\"_blank\">Fifth Domain in May<\/a> that they see roughly 55,000 cyber attack a year, or an average of 150 per day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Government officials in Latvia are debating how
