"As officers of the ISS, we work every day to ensure that Estonia is a difficult target for adversaries and that people in Estonia can feel safe here," the agency comments on Spotify.

"In cooperation with domestic and international partners, the ISS builds a sufficiently strong layer of protection to address these threats and challenges. With the annual review, we provide an overview of the threat landscape and the most effective ways to mitigate these risks."

The audio version is narrated by Sergo Vares, with the soundscape created by freelance composer Janek Murd.

ISS is not disclosing how much it cost to produce the audiobook.

"We will not provide a detailed breakdown of the project's total cost," ISS Office Director Harrys Puusepp said. "The breakdown of expenditures in the ISS's budget is not public. However, the total cost came well below the mandatory public procurement threshold set in the State Budget Act, which is €20,000."

According to Puusepp, the agency did not set a target audience size when releasing the audiobook.

"In today's fragmented media consumption environment, we operate on the assumption that if we want to prevent security threats by informing the public, we have to make significantly greater efforts and act in a more dispersed way than in the 20th century in order to reach people," Puusepp noted.
