Successful cooperation between the DDPS and the Swiss financial sector to protect privacy

Bern, 28.4.2023 - The Swiss Federal Department of Defence, Civil Protection and Sport (DDPS) has concluded a joint pilot project with the Swiss National Bank, SIX and Zurich Cantonal bank to strengthen the resilience of critical Swiss infrastructure in the area of cyber defence. The initiative aims to enable security teams in the financial sector to have access to cyber defence capacities of the Confederation and to improve the general security situation through increased collaboration. Conventional data collaboration challenges are overcome by the use of confidential computing and data clean rooms, a combination of new encryption and data protection technologies.
