Jusletter IT

In order to fulfil its mission at all times, the army must protect its IT systems against cyber attacks. At its meeting on 30 January 2019, the Federal Council issued a new ordinance regulating the organisation and responsibilities for maintaining military security in the cyberspace to ensure that the armed forces have the instruments they need to protect themselves. The ordinance will enter into force on 1 March 2019. It specifies the legal requirements that have been created with a view to the further development of the armed forces. (ph)
