Get exclusive insights into the world of cyber security and how Switzerland protects itself against cyber attacks! Thanks to its wide-ranging expertise and international competence network, the Cyber Defence Campus is the link between the DDPS, industry, academic institutions and hacker communities when it comes to all things related to cyber security.

Digitalization completely transforms our daily lives. It simplifies our daily lives: easier communication through social networks, digital assistants such as smart phones and smart watches or fast online shopping.
But digitalization also entails risks, especially with regards to security. Our data and communication transition more and more to online services, and key infrastructure like electricity and water utilities are controlled through computers.
If hackers manage to take control of such systems or steal sensitive data, they could cause major damage to society as a whole. The protection against cyber attacks is increasingly gaining importance.
The federal government is taking various measures to protect Switzerland against cyber attacks. These measures include the installation of the Cyber Defence Campus in January 2019, incorporating experts from armasuisse
Science and Technology, industry and the scientific community, the Campus works to put research results to use in practical solutions with the relevant authorities, startups, international partners and other companies.
