«The enormous threat from cyberspace is a reflection of our weaknesses and the result of our failures. Education and awareness are part of the digital equation and key to success. Because cybersecurity is much more than an IT topic and can only be achieved through collaborative cooperation. This is where Swiss Cyber Security Days can offer a helping hand with building bridges and finding solutions.»

Swiss Cyber Security Days
Swiss Cyber Security Days (SCSD) is the leading Swiss dialogue and knowledge platform in the field of cyber security. SCSD bridges the knowledge gap between technology, research, politics, business, and the general public, providing insights into current and future threats, alongside innovative solutions to improve security.
Digitalization has turned the world into a global village, extending and multiplying our capabilities immensely. However, the foundation of digitalization, the cyber domain, is inadequately secured, while still connecting nations, people, and organizations billions of times over. Cyber permeates every aspect of our lives, 24/7, 365 days a year. Safeguarding our digital lives has, therefore, become one of the most urgent and complex challenges of our time.
SCSD brings together leading cyber security experts, as well as national and international leaders, under one roof. Through relevant dialogues, they present the framework conditions for digital maturity based on current research paradigms and global events.
«Technological progress and disruptive innovations go hand in hand and are among the greatest opportunities of our time. In order to direct development in the interests of society, it requires a dialogue across society. This is where the program of Swiss Cyber Security Days comes in: Building digitally literate societies is a collective task that can be achieved through collaboration between research, business, society, and politics – both nationally and internationally.»

Program
Swiss Cyber Security Days (SCSD) is Switzerland’s leading dialogue and knowledge platform in the field of cyber security. Attacks from cyber space are one of today’s greatest threats to global stability and threaten all areas of modern life. SCSD reflects this with the motto “Shaping Cyber Resilience” and offers a diverse range of top-class presentations, workshops, and panel discussions, as well as a variety of exhibitors from the security sector.
Below you will find a selection of the topics awaiting you at Swiss Cyber Security Days 2024.
Over the course of two days, there will be numerous motivating and inspiring presentations by renowned experts, shedding light on the social, economic, and military dimensions of cyber security while outlining potential improvements.
Viewpoints
In a hyper-connected world, digitalisation affects everyone and everything: individuals, civil society, business, research and education, politics and governments, and national security. While technological dependency is becoming ever more comprehensive, the attack surface from cyberspace is increasing in parallel. In order to shape our future in a purposeful and positive way, we need to make the digital space more secure.
Our experts from politics, business and science show how sustainable digital infrastructures should be built.
