Cyber resilience for Critical Infrastructures

Critical Infrastructures

Critical Infrastructures (KRITIS) form the backbone of our society and economy. Any failure can have dramatic consequences. To ensure KRITIS does not become a risk zone, we assist you with our cyber security concepts and solutions to achieve comprehensive and sustainable cyber security for Critical Infrastructures.

Identify. Protect. Detect. Respond. Recover: With the recommendations in the minimum standard to improve ICT resilience, the federal government emphasises what operators and authorities must pay attention to regarding Critical Infrastructures. Vulnerable infrastructures endanger Switzerland's supply security.

What are Critical Infrastructures?

With digital transformation, transport, public safety, food, information and communication, industry, authorities, energy, disposal, finance and health are being reorganised. The goals are more security, maximum ecology and optimal value creation. All these sectors are considered Critical Infrastructures, and society and the economy are equally dependent on their functioning.

The increasing interconnection of internal and external areas brings higher susceptibility to various cyber-attack scenarios, especially for Critical Infrastructures. As a result, they are increasingly targeted by financially or politically motivated cyber criminals who can severely jeopardise the required and essential supply security. The previously separate worlds of Information Technology (IT) and Operational Technology (OT) are being brought together by smart technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT). Especially old software and hardware components, online interfaces and outdated IT structures make the system vulnerable. Massive collateral damage at the expense of the population occurs.

Protection of Critical Infrastructures

Each Critical Infrastructure sector is exposed to a specific threat situation: extortion, data theft or operational paralysis. Only when knowledge of the individual threats is available can appropriate awareness and protection measures be developed. The goal is to ensure the smooth functioning of Switzerland and to protect the population at all times. The protection of Critical Infrastructures is therefore of paramount importance.

Comprehensive security approach

Cyber security solutions for Critical Infrastructures are based on a comprehensive and multi-layered security concept. Central to this is that cyber security products are based on the "Security by Design" approach, meaning security is considered from the outset during product development and ensured throughout the entire lifecycle. CyOne Security has the expertise to develop cyber security solutions based on the principles of "Security by Design" and "Security by Default" that are quantum-secure, scalable and verifiable.

CyOne Security understands the high requirements for cyber security in complex Critical Infrastructure ecosystems and supports you throughout the entire product and system lifecycle with project-specific security services: analysis, conception, design, development through to implementation, migration and support.

Need for action in Critical Infrastructures

When they fail, everything comes to a halt: Critical Infrastructures such as energy networks, healthcare facilities or government systems. Recent events show that the risk of such failures is increasing.

Other sectors

01

Authorities

Authorities today face a complex threat landscape, exacerbated by digital transformation and the increasing professionalism of cyber criminals. We assist Swiss authorities with our security expertise to develop and operate comprehensive and sustainable cyber security solutions.

02

Defence

Traditional defence lines are no longer sufficient to fend off complex state actors and hybrid threats. Securing digital sovereignty is a central goal of Swiss security and defence policy.

03

Space

Space is no longer just the final frontier of discovery – it is the backbone of our modern, connected society. From precise navigation and global communication to critical Earth observation for various sectors. Our dependence on space-based systems has never been greater than today. However, with increasing connectivity, vulnerability also rises.
