NCSC: New tools for authorities
The National Cyber Security Center (NCSC), together with the Swiss Security Association (SVS), has been offering targeted information for authorities on its website for a week now.
The NCSC has been offering targeted content for private individuals, companies and IT specialists on its website for some time. Information for public authorities is now also explicitly offered.
In addition to current topics and concrete instructions for action, it addresses threats in cyberspace to which authorities may be exposed. According to the NCSC, care was taken to integrate existing knowledge when compiling the content.
For example, the "Guide for Municipalities" of the Network for Investigative Support in Digital Crime Prevention (NEDIK) forms an important basis. In addition, a selection of further information from other organizations dealing with cybersecurity topics can be found. The content is coordinated in cooperation with the Swiss Security Association (SVS) and is continuously supplemented.
In the context of the implementation of the NCS, this information offer for authorities is also an accompanying measure with regard to the implementation of measure 1 "Early recognition of trends and technologies and knowledge building". In this regard, the SVS is working on an "e-learning tool" that will be available to all municipal, cantonal and federal administrations in the course of 2022. This will be used to train employees on best practices in cyber and information security.
