Launch of the national cyber security awareness campaign

Regular updates and up-to-date virus protection make a significant contribution to cyber security. This is why the Federal Office for Cybersecurity (BACS), Swiss Crime Prevention (SCP) and the cantonal and municipal police forces are launching another part of the national campaign "S-U-P-E-R.ch" in April, in which they emphasize the importance of updates and virus protection. The campaign is supported by the internet security platform iBarry and "eBanking - but secure!" (EBAS).

Under the motto "Promote your digital health", the "S-U-P-E-R.ch" 2024 campaign is being launched with a focus on the topics of "updates" and "virus protection". The campaign picks up on the trend towards a healthy lifestyle that has been going on for years. But what about digital health? Regular updates of the operating system, software and apps as well as updated virus protection actively protect digital devices from intruders. If you protect your device properly, you make cyber attacks more difficult. This applies to companies, organizations and private individuals alike. Interested parties can find out how to do this on the S-U-P-E-R.ch campaign website.

National awareness campaign on updates and virus protection

From April 4, the BACS, the SKP and the cantonal and municipal police forces, with the support of iBarry and EBAS, will be raising awareness among the Swiss population of the importance of updates and virus protection. Various communication tools are used to illustrate with different fitness and health themes that not only the body, but also the software must be kept fit. The campaign website S-U-P-E-R.ch provides further information on the topic and the knowledge acquired can be tested with a quiz. The campaign runs until April 30, 2024.
