Swiss Cyber Security Days at Forum Fribourg on February 27 & 28, 2019

Cybersecurity is not guaranteed in many organizations, administrations and of course the private sector in Switzerland. The danger of cyber attacks is thus becoming an increasingly alarming global reality. On Wednesday February 27 and Thursday February 28, 2019, the Swiss Cyber Security Days (SCSD) will devote two days to this topical issue. The Forum Fribourg congress and exhibition center will host 80 exhibitors and some 50 internationally renowned speakers from Switzerland and abroad, presenting papers on cybersecurity policy, business and research.

This two-day event is not only a unique opportunity to understand the challenges of cybersecurity for business, government and defense, but above all to find solutions to protect against cyberthreats. The SCSD will also provide an opportunity to network with exhibitors, speakers and the 2000 or so visitors expected in Fribourg.
