National strategy for the protection of Switzerland against cyber risks 2018-2022 Measures 25) Active shaping of and participation in processes of foreign cyber security policy In the field of foreign cyber security policy, Switzerland is committed to developing a set of rules for the responsible use of information and communication technologies. It does so within the UN, the OSCE and other relevant international forums. It promotes more comprehensive recognition of international law and contributes to clarifying specific questions on its application (e.g. UN expert group and follow-up processes, Tallinn Manual Process and others). Switzerland supports the principle that the same human rights that apply offline are also applicable online. It is therefore committed to ensuring the protection of human rights also in the context of security policy interactions in cyberspace. Switzerland is furthermore engaged in the OSCE and other relevant forums for the implementation and further development of confidence-building measures. Finally, it actively participates in discussions on the interface between cyber security and arms control, and it promotes the development of expertise and capacities in this area. 26) International cooperation to build and expand cyber security capacities Through cooperation and exchange with other countries, international organisations and specialised research centres (e.g. Cooperative Cyber Defence Centre of Excellence), Switzerland should use foreign know-how to expand its national risk minimisation capabilities. Switzerland supports projects and initiatives to build cyber security capacities in other countries (e.g. exchange of experts on institution building and foreign cyber security structures, workshops on international processes, support for the Global Forum on Cyber Expertise). 27) Bilateral political consultations and multilateral dialogues on foreign cyber security policy Switzerland conducts consultations with selected countries on foreign cyber security policy, in particular on the threat situation and trends. It actively helps shape multilateral dialogues (e.g. Sino-European Cyber Dialogue). 25
