Swiss Security Awareness Day 2025

Zentrum Paul Klee
The human factor of security is getting more and more important. In times of a constant increase of complexity in our digitalised world, the user becomes the target of cybercriminals. Technical measures are not enough to keep our systems secure, the user needs to become part of the security process. Security Awareness is supposed to help, but the challenges are great and many – missing communication expertise, support and resources are just a few. The Swiss Security Awareness Day aims at giving some insights into the different possible ways to deal with Security Awareness while pointing out where to get support and what is most crucial for being successful.
