Independent. Proactive. Objective.

Short film about the NTC

Cybersecurity testing for Switzerland's security and digital sovereignty.

 
Independent security testing is necessary.

Digitalization brings great benefits to society and the economy. For people, companies and institutions to be able to trust the virtual world in which they live and work, it must offer the same high level of security as the physical world.

If insecure digital components are used, Switzerland's security and independence are particularly at risk.

We test proactively

We identify critical vulnerabilities in digital products, proactively analyze the risks of new technologies, and actively contribute to their security. As an independent, non-profit organization, we test digital products and applications that are not, or are insufficiently, tested in Switzerland due to a lack of legal requirements or economic incentives - acting on our own initiative where necessary. The focus is on testing on behalf of critical infrastructure operators, public authorities, and the police and army.

Objective and independent

Our testing is independent of manufacturers, providers, vendors and political interests. We act responsibly, transparently and free from any influence.

  • 33% of all vulnerabilities affect IoT devices – more than twice as many as in 2023 (14%). Exposure is on the rise.

  • 99% of attacks on IoT devices exploited known CVEs (mostly critical, score 10). Preventable – if vulnerabilities are fixed in time.

  • 32% of ransomware attacks exploited known, unpatched vulnerabilities. Preventable – they are usually detected immediately during testing.
