Working Groups

SWITCH chairs and participates in national and international Working Groups on Security Awareness (e.g. FIRST, GÉANT, SISA). For more information or request to participate send an email to awareness@switch.ch.

3-4 security topics a year with creative commons license

Together with iBarry SWITCH is developing campaigns on four to five security topics a year. All the campaigns are based on the website and sometimes accompanied by print material, such as posters, postcards or stickers. The graphic material as well as the content on the website is under creative commons license and therefor free to use.

 

The platform iBarry was created and is maintained by the Swiss Internet Security Alliance (SISA). The purpose of the association is to preventively inform the public of risks and solutions regarding weak points of their Internet-connected devices and to make them aware of potential dangers. 

As a member, SWITCH actively supports SISA's activities and initiatives.

Participation

iBarry is open to all Swiss organizations wishing to raise awareness of cyber security among end users. In case you want to participate in the working group or you want to use some of the material for your own security awareness purposes don't hesitate to contact us.
