International competence network
The National Test Institute for Cyber Security NTC tests networked components for their cyber security on behalf of the federal government, cantonal and municipal authorities, industry, universities and NGOs. The NTC guarantees independent and in-depth testing of the security and trustworthiness of cyber-physical components and makes a strategic contribution to maintaining Switzerland's security and independence.
To this end, local and international cybersecurity specialists are now invited to fulfill this mission together with the NTC.
