The Computer Emergency Response Team of Estonia (CERT Estonia), established in 2006, is an organisation responsible for the management of security incidents in .ee computer networks. Its task is to assist Estonian internet users in the implementation of preventive measures in order to reduce possible damage from security incidents and to help them in responding to security threats. CERT Estonia deals with security incidents that occur in Estonian networks, are started there, or have been notified of by citizens or institutions either in Estonia or abroad.

CERT Estonia offers the following services: Incident handling – receiving incident reports, assigning priorities to incidents according to their severity level, performing incident analysis, responding to incidents, giving assistance in incident response, co- ordinating incident response activities. Giving information and issuing warnings – informing users about attacks, viruses, worms, Trojans occurring in .ee networks and notifying about vulnerabilities discovered in the most widely used systems and applications in Estonia. Warnings are mainly issued in cases of attacks with higher level of severity, extremely widespread viruses, and highly severe vulnerabilities.

In 2007 Estonia suffered from cyber attacks that started after the escalated bronze soldier conflict.

In 2008 Estonia sent IT-aid to Georgia during the country's conflict with Russia.  Especially at the beginning Georgia became the target of cyber-attacks so 2 experts went to help the locals.
