Cyberstudy 2024

Three-part survey of Switzerland's SMBs, population and IT vendors

The Cyberstudy 2024, a representative study, provides insights into the digital security awareness of SMEs, the population and IT service providers in Switzerland. Although almost all respondents perceive cybercrime as a serious threat, few take proactive measures to protect themselves - despite the fact that four percent of SMEs and IT service providers and five percent of the population have been victims of a cyber attack in the last three years.

Our Mission

More security for SMEs in the digital space

The Alliance Digital Security Switzerland association develops and implements initiatives to improve cyber security. We provide information and training for SMEs and their IT service providers and promote the implementation of practical security standards and tools

 With our CyberSeal seal of approval, we strengthen the technical and organizational competence of SME IT service providers to guarantee adequate protection against cyber risks.

Our extensive partnerships with the federal government, associations, think tanks and companies promote the independence of the Alliance Digital Security Switzerland.

Strategic relevance of IT service providers

The cyber resilience of the Swiss economy is largely determined by  IT service providers

80%

rely on the know-how of their IT service providers when it comes to cyber security

50%

of which blindly trust these IT service providers without knowing their security certification

The CyberSeal

The "CyberSeal" was included in the implementation plan of the "National Strategy for the Protection of Switzerland against Cyber Risks NCS 2.0" in September 2020. The CyberSeal recognizes IT service providers that guarantee their customers an adequate level of protection against cyber risks through appropriate technical and organizational measures. The seal of approval supports SMEs in their search for suitable external IT service providers.
