Switch CERT

We protect critical ICT infrastructures such as the Swiss university and banking networks against cyberattacks. Our comprehensive solution provides intelligent early warning of potential threats and recommendations for risk mitigation measures.

Early on, we discovered that public and critical IT infrastructures have high requirements for security against cyberthreats. This led to the creation of Switch CERT, the Computer Emergency and Response Teams at Switch, in 1994.

Switch CERT takes part in international expert networks and partnerships to share experience, anticipate cyberthreats early on and provide effective defences. Today, Switch CERT provides services to state institutions in the research and education sector, as well as to private-sector companies in the fields of banking, industry and logistics and energy.
