Information security and cyber security

Strengthening information security and cyber security for the whole of Switzerland

Information security will be strengthened in order to effectively protect Switzerland and its population. The focus is on raising awareness, applying protective measures in everyday life and ensuring that the Administration is ready to act in the event of an emergency or disaster. These security measures will also benefit cantonal and communal administrations. Furthermore, the new structures for information security and cyber security are to be established.
