SCSD: hybrid concept and SME day
Due to Corona, the Swiss Cyber Security Days are relying on a hybrid concept for their March event. An "SME Day" is also planned.
The third Swiss Cyber Security Days (SCSD) on March 10 and 11, 2021, will close the knowledge gap between technology and society in the field of cybersecurity and offer insights into current and future solutions.
As a result of the ongoing pandemic, the SCSD will be implemented as a hybrid concept: On the one hand, a presence with the keynotes as well as networking and catering is planned on site in Freiburg. On the other hand, the conferences will be streamed in parallel via the "SCSD365" platform. SCSD365" is a year-round platform for cybersecurity.
SMEs as a focus
A national "SME Day" will be held at SCSD on March 11. The event will focus on the specific cyber security needs of SMEs. Specific cases of attacks on Swiss companies and their consequences will also be discussed. Here, too, the SCSD will be focusing on the core values of transparency, knowledge transfer, open communication and discussion.
Program Focus National Security
In the SCSD main conference part, in addition to ongoing topical issues, the focus will be on topics that bring meaning and purpose back into cyberspace, as well as the currently primarily profit-oriented influence of digitization on society, health, politics, the economy and individuals. For the core topic "National Cybersecurity", top personalities such as the head of the Armed Forces, Corps Commander Thomas Süssli, the President of the ETH Lausanne, Martin Vetterli, as well as the Federal Delegate for Cybersecurity, Florian Schütz, have already confirmed their participation. Among others, Michael Hengartner, President of the ETH Board, is invited to a second basic topic "Identity and Privacy". Other core topics are e-government, hyper connected society, data protection, IoT, artificial intelligence or 5G.
