The intelligence service and its status report
The Federal Intelligence Service has just published its 2016 situation report. Does it also address the topic of cyberspace?
In addition it says in the round 90 pages comprehensive paper of the Federal Intelligence Service (FIS): The 2016 situation report does not deal with cyberspace separately: on the one hand, because cyberspace is a cross-cutting issue, and on the other, because the Reporting and Analysis Centre for Information Assurance (Melani) semi-annually (see here) reported on the latest developments, the NDB said.
Industrial espionage: FIS raises awareness with short film
Prohibited intelligence remains a threat, regardless of whether it is conducted by traditional means or as cyber espionage: the pressure on information worthy of protection is not abating in Switzerland either. As part of the Prophylax prevention and awareness program, the FIS has been raising awareness of the threats and risks of espionage and proliferation among Swiss companies, universities and research institutes since 2004. In this context, the FIS had the short film "Im Visier" ("In the Sight") about industrial espionage made. The film is intended to help protect the Swiss work and research center from unwanted data leaks and reputational damage, according to the FIS. The film is available on the VBS website retrievable.
