Switch CERT – ein führendes nationales Expertenzentrum, Ihr vertrauenswürdiger Partner für Cybersicherheit

Das Switch Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT) ist ein führendes unabhängiges Expertenzentrum für Informationssicherheit.

Testimonials

«The Switch DNS Firewall is a smart and straightforward solution that provides an effective complement to security solutions already in place at our organisation. The landing page clearly explains the reason for a blocked access to the user, which alleviates confusion. We’ve used it since July 2017 here at EPFL and are completely satisfied with it.»
Patrick Saladino
Head of Operational IT Security, École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne, 16,000 users

« CERN is using the Switch DNS Firewall since Q4 2015 for pro-actively preventing our user community accessing malicious domain names and phishing websites. Using the Switch DNS Firewall, unfortunate users are redirected to an internal webpage informing them about the risks of browsing the WWW. So far, we have made great experience with it, also thanks to the quick response of Switch to our queries and input, and observed no false positives nor mayor issues.»

«The University of Bern has been using the Switch DNS Firewall from Switch since 2015. It is very easy to integrate into an existing environment. It is low-maintenance and very effective at preventing phishing and malware. As soon as a university user tries to access a malicious website, the Switch DNS Firewall returns an alternative response in the form of a secure landing page with an explanation of the potential threat posed by the page the user was trying to access. Switch's DNS RPZ feed is extremely helpful and focuses on threats to Swiss organisations. »

«Jisc has worked and collaborated closely with Switch for over 5 years, helping shape and support Jisc’s Janet Network Resolver Service, a protective DNS service which supports over 300 Higher and Further Education organisations in the UK, representing over 2.7 million users. Switch's DNS Firewall data feeds have proved an effective tool in trying to prevent common attack vectors such as phishing and ransomware aimed at the UK education community. We look forward to continuing our close partnership with Switch in tackling a common threat.»
