The main task of the Strategic Cooperation Division is to develop international cooperation with police partners. In agreement and coordination with the specialist units of fedpol, it represents the Federal Office of Police at bilateral and multilateral conferences and committees, which enables it to observe developments in the fight against cybercrime, for example. Federal Department of Defence, Civil Protection and Sport (DDPS) Federal Intelligence Service (FIS) FIS uses intelligence resources to procure information, which is then analysed, evaluated and disseminated. In Switzerland, it concentrates on terrorism, violent extremism, proliferation, attacks on critical infrastructure and illegal intelligence; abroad, it focuses on security policy issues, including proliferation, terrorism, armed forces development, as well as defence technology and arms trade, and strategic analyses. As these fields increasingly involve cyber aspects, FIS also follows the development of the cyber risk situation. Together with the Federal IT Steering Unit (FITSU), FIS manages the intelligence part of the Reporting and Analysis Centre for Information Assurance (MELANI). Federal Office for Civil Protection (FOCP) The purpose of civil protection is to protect the population and its vital needs in the event of disasters and emergencies or armed conflict and thus to significantly help limit and deal with the effects of harmful incidents. Disasters and emergencies can also result from severe cyber attacks or other ICT disruptions. Consequently, these dangers are also factored into work relating to the "Switzerland's risks" study, which serves as a planning basis for civil protection. Within the scope of the programme for the protection of critical infrastructure and as instructed by the Federal Council, the FOCP coordinates the work on the compilation of an SCI inventory, which consists in registering critical ICT infrastructure and security-relevant ICT applications in the other CI sectors. As the Confederation's reporting and analysis centre for exceptional incidents, the FOCP's National Emergency Operations Centre (NEOC) is imperatively dependent on IT systems and communication networks that function and thus on a reliable power supply also in crises. In the future, management communication between federal and cantonal units (POLYCONNECT/POLYDATA) is to be conducted via crisis and power-resistant networks that are protected with corresponding encryption. The warning and alert system (POLYALERT) is also switching to crisis-resistant technology based on Switzerland's secure radio network (POLYCOM) at the moment. Defence sector The defence sector of the DDPS is responsible for defence, support for civilian authorities and peace-building. The following organisations in particular are responsible for defence-related protection tasks: Information Security and Facility Protection (ISFP) The ISFP, which is part of Armed Forces Staff, is in charge of the DDPS's integral security. In particular, it is responsible for regulations relating to the security of persons, information, IT and property (material and real estate). 17/42
