Switzerland to join European Cyber Security Organisation
The membership will grant Switzerland access to essential resources and expertise, enhancing its ability to mitigate cyber threats.
Switzerland has announced its decision to join the European Cyber Security Organisation (ECSO) to bolster its defences against cyber threats. By becoming a member, Switzerland will gain access to valuable information on technological advancements and be able to collaborate with a network of experts across Europe, enhancing its ability to combat online attacks.
The ECSO, which includes 300 members such as companies, universities, research centres, and European governments, provides a platform for sharing expertise and resources in cybersecurity. Switzerland’s move comes in response to a notable rise in cyberattacks and disinformation campaigns earlier this year, particularly surrounding a summit focused on establishing peace in Ukraine.
This membership reflects Switzerland’s proactive approach to strengthening its cybersecurity infrastructure, ensuring it remains resilient despite evolving digital threats.
