Kokonais­turvallisuus is a Finnish term that translates to "comprehensive security" or "total security." It refers to a broad approach to security that encompasses not only traditional military and defense aspects but also societal resilience, economic stability, and the well-being of citizens. This concept recognizes that a nation's security is threatened by a wide range of factors, including but not limited to armed conflict.

The holistic nature of kokonais­turvallisuus means that various actors and sectors of society are involved in its implementation. This includes government ministries, defense forces, law enforcement, emergency services, businesses, civil society organizations, and individual citizens. The aim is to create a resilient society capable of withstanding and recovering from various crises, whether they are natural disasters, cyberattacks, economic downturns, or hybrid threats.

Key elements of kokonais­turvallisuus include maintaining critical infrastructure, ensuring energy security, protecting information systems, promoting social cohesion, and developing effective crisis management mechanisms. It emphasizes preparedness, prevention, and response across all levels of society. The concept is deeply rooted in Finland's historical experiences and its geopolitical context, highlighting the importance of a united and prepared nation. It is a strategic framework that guides national policy and planning to ensure the safety and security of the country and its people in an increasingly complex world.
