Safety is all about planning

Smooth everyday life is no coincidence. It is built behind the scenes of Finland’s security of supply – where society’s critical functions, technology, and people meet. Safety is founded on continuous foresight and close collaboration.

Today, critical infrastructure is inevitably linked to the safety of everyday life. It forms the backbone of society’s functioning, and any disruption directly impacts well-being and operational capability.

Critical infrastructure includes energy, water, transport, telecommunications, and healthcare systems. If any of these fail, the consequences are immediate: power outages halt communication and production, water supply disruptions endanger health, and logistics problems interrupt food distribution.

Digitalization and IoT have introduced new opportunities for risk management, but they also increase vulnerability. Cyberattacks can cripple industrial control systems or power grids, directly affecting people’s daily lives.

“The likelihood of industrial networks being hacked is higher than just a few years ago,” reminds Olli Järvenpää, Head of Factory Automation Solutions.

Foresight improves safety and reduces costs

Safety is not just about reacting—it’s about planning.

“You can’t bolt on safety afterward; it must be built correctly from the start,” says Johanna Kalliomäki, Head of Products and Development.

Disruptions threatening everyday life can be avoided when systems are designed and built to be resilient. This way, anomalies can be detected early, and experts can respond in time.

“Foresight ensures the right people are in the right place at the right time with the right corrective actions, and faults are resolved quickly,” Kalliomäki emphasizes.

“Proactive measures are also more cost-effective than reacting only when a crisis occurs.”

Broad and decisive impact

Insta helps anticipate risks, identify weak points, and ensure operational continuity. Under one roof, we offer a comprehensive range of solutions to secure industrial functionality and safety: manufacturing operations, automation expertise, software design, and cybersecurity services. In integrated solutions, automation, software, and electrification come together seamlessly. “We have the expertise from design to installation, training, and maintenance. The customer gets a partner who does it all,” Järvenpää explains.

Insta supports, monitors, and provides 24/7 standby for critical systems in all situations. The impact on national infrastructure is significant.

“For example, the water supply for three million Finns flows through systems we’ve been involved in,” Kalliomäki notes.

“We’ve succeeded in our mission when everyday life runs smoothly.”

Trust and expertise safeguard daily life

Building security requires long-term effort, expertise, and constant vigilance. “Security isn’t built overnight—it’s achieved together with the right partners,” Järvenpää stresses.

When cybersecurity, power networks, and industrial systems work in harmony, everyday life remains secure. Insta carries this responsibility reliably and builds a sustainable future for all.
