TY - STAND AB - In 2018, Switzerland released its second national cybersecurity strategy. To put the Swiss approach into perspective, this CSS study compares the strategies, policies and governmental structures of Germany, Finland, France, Israel, Italy and the Netherland to highlight similarities and differences and to discuss the relevant challenges and further implications for Switzerland. The results show that, despite their national idiosyncrasies in terms of structures, all states underline the need for a holistic and integrated approach to cybersecurity focused on developing capabilities, awareness and education, while fostering international and public-private cooperation. In addition, they all face challenges that are inherently crosscutting, ranging from issues of policy integration and coordination to crisis management and legislative harmonization BT - ethz DO - 10.3929/ethz-b-000363696 N1 - The two strategies for protecting Switzerland against cyber risks (NCS 2012 and 2018) are largely consistent with the six strategies compared for the purposes of this study. Risks are assessed similarly, and the same issues and measures are identified as being particularly urgent. Switzerland is consequently exposed to the same eight risks, albeit to a different extent:1. Integration,2. Coordination,3. International cooperation,4. Crisis management,5. Situation analysis,6. Education,7. Public-private partnerships,8. Legislation N2 - In 2018, Switzerland released its second national cybersecurity strategy.
