Education: Education and training on cybersecurity will be promoted at all
levels. While compulsory schooling will primarily teach basic skills, uppersecondary level vocational education and training and tertiary-level professional
education, higher education, and continuing education and training need
targeted offers tailored to the requirements of the labour market. The tried and
tested instruments of Swiss education policy will be used to promote education
and training on cybersecurity. In teaching cybersecurity skills, teachers will be
supported with suitable teaching materials and by subject specialists, and
coordination between educational institutions will be fostered. Specific training
and courses for specialists (e.g. in critical infrastructures) will be offered more
widely in Switzerland.
Research: Research into cybersecurity will be promoted through existing
research policy funds. The impact of Switzerland's outstanding political,
economic and social research must be expanded. This will require enhanced
coordination between researchers in the various cybersecurity disciplines so
that joint recommendations can be developed and communicated.
Innovation: Networking between actors will be promoted to create an ideal
environment for innovation. Exchanges between universities, companies and
public authorities are to be further expanded. Within the scope of the law, the
responsible federal units will encourage expert involvement in cybersecurity
through the existing Innovation Fellowships and similar programmes.
