The representative Cyber Study 2024 shows that many Swiss SMEs, IT service providers and private individuals see cybercrime as a serious threat, but only a few actively take protective measures. Around 5% of the population and 4% of SMEs and IT service providers have been affected by cyberattacks in the last three years.
Particularly worrying: 40% of affected companies have neither an emergency plan nor a business continuity strategy. The study calls for awareness-raising and increased security measures in order to strengthen digital resilience in Switzerland in the long term.
