In this role, it prepares security regulations in order to safeguard the confidentiality, availability, integrity and traceability of information and data, as well as the availability and integrity of ICT resources. It runs the coordination unit for the protection of information in the Federal Administration and is the contact point for national and international questions regarding the protection of classified information. On the basis of some international agreements (particularly with the EU), the ISFP is considered the national security authority for all information security issues. It is playing a leading role in the drafting of an act on information security in the Confederation. Armed Forces Command Support Organisation (AFCSO) The AFCSO is the ICT service provider for the armed forces in all situations, which entails a high degree of availability and security. It runs the Electronic Operations Centre (EOC), which provides services for intelligence services. The EOC employs cryptologists and runs the Computer Network Operations sector (CNO), which thus has the technical skills to analyse threats and incidents and to conduct operations. The AFCSO also operates the Military Computer Emergency Response Team (milCERT), which monitors the ICT infrastructure that is relevant for the armed forces. The AFCSO supports primarily the armed forces, but also political leaders, and keeps corresponding resources available. Military Intelligence Service (MIS) Within the armed forces, respectively the defence sector, the MIS is responsible for obtaining information for military consumers. The MIS provides the intelligence basis for operations with the help of the intelligence network and in close collaboration with the Armed Forces Joint Staff and involved units. The MIS cultivates international contacts with military intelligence services and agencies (e.g. NATO). It thus serves as an information provider for the FIS and supports it with findings on cyber risks and cyber aspects in the military environment. Furthermore, the MIS is in charge of counter espionage and its cyber aspects within the scope of military operations abroad. Federal Department of Finance (FDF) Federal IT Steering Unit (FITSU) The Federal IT Steering Unit (FITSU) issues ICT requirements and takes the central lead in IT services that are used in the Federal Administration (e.g. telecommunications). It manages GovCERT, as well as the strategic part of MELANI. In a crisis, it leads SONIA. In the event of an attack on the Federal Administration's information and communications infrastructure, the FITSU can take additional security measures. Federal Office of Information Technology, Systems and Telecommunication (FOITT) The FOITT is a provider of IT and telecommunications services for the Federal Administration and runs its own Computer Security Incident Response Team (CSIRT), which collaborates closely with MELANI and other units in the Federal Administration.
