"Swiss Government Wants to Implement Mandatory Duty to Report Cyberattacks"

The Swiss government has recently asked its Parliament to amend the Information Security Act to make it mandatory for critical infrastructure providers to report cyberattacks to the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC).  Doing this will be aimed at shedding light on hackers and sounding the alarm more widely on cyber threats in the country.  The Swiss government stated that successful cyberattacks can have far-reaching consequences for the availability and security of the Swiss economy.  The government noted that the general public, authorities, and companies are exposed to the risk of cyberattacks daily and that there is currently no overall picture of what attacks have taken place because reporting to the NCSC is voluntary.  Matt Masden at Tanium stated that "visibility is power" when protecting against advanced, sophisticated threats.
