Cyber Risk Management Training in Switzerland.

Geschichte

Switzerland has an excellent cyber risk management plan. The Federal Council adopted the national strategy for the protection of Switzerland against cyber risks (NCS) on 27 June 2012 and its implementation plan (IP NCS) on 15 May 2013.

According to the strategy, acting with personal responsibility, national cooperation between the private and public sector, and cooperation with foreign countries are all essential for reducing cyber risks. Digital networking exposes information and communication infrastructure to criminal, intelligence, politico-military or terrorist abuse or functional impairment. Disturbances, manipulation and specific attacks carried out via electronic networks are the risks that an information society entails. It is to be expected that these risks will tend to increase in the future.

The rationale underlying the national strategy is that every organisational unit, be it political, economic or social, bears responsibility for identifying these cyber aspects, addressing the risks entailed in their particular processes and reducing them insofar as possible. The decentralised structures in the public and private sector are to be strengthened for these tasks, and existing resources and processes are to be used consistently.

We must not forget that cybersecurity is a difficult and complex field. The board of directors and senior management of every organization of the public and the private sector must understand that cyber risks are not an IT problem, but an enterprise risk management challenge. Cyber risks have to do with reputation management, the protection of intellectual property and sensitive employee and customer information, financial loss and liability in the event of a data breach. Cyber-risk management should be given regular and adequate time on the board meeting agenda.
