Promoting trust in cybersecurity through ethics and law – a conclusion

For three years, researchers from the Universities of Zurich and Lausanne have been investigating the ethical, legal and social aspects of cybersecurity as part of National Research Programme 77 “Digital Transformation”. At two final events, all specialists involved in the project and other interested parties will be invited to gain an insight into the main findings of the project.

In particular, the results of interviews and a survey of critical infrastructures in Switzerland, guidelines for creating a value-based cybersecurity culture and legislative recommendations for improving the cybersecurity of critical infrastructures in Switzerland will be presented. Philipp Grabher, CISO of the Canton of Zurich (TBC), will also give a presentation on current cybersecurity measures in the Canton of Zurich. Finally, CYREN^ZH – the Cyber Resilience Network of the Canton of Zurich – will be presented.

The event will be bilingual (slides in German, presentations in English, podium in German). The event will be followed by an aperitif for informal discussions. For planning purposes, registration is requested: https://ema.uzh.ch/RULEM.
