The exchange of information between the private and the public sector
We often read that the public sector must learn from the private sector. We strongly believe that the opposite is more important. The private sector must learn from the public sector.
Governments, including intelligence agencies, spend billions on understanding cyber threats and designing countermeasures. Ignoring the intelligence they release would leave serious gaps in any risk or compliance program.
Our job is to aggregate, interpret, and contextualize this intelligence. Independence doesn’t mean isolation. It means critical, unbiased use of the best available information:
1. Switzerland, NDB. The Federal Intelligence Service (Nachrichtendienst des Bundes) works for the prevention of terrorism, violent extremism, espionage, proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and their delivery system technology, as well as cyberattacks against the critical infrastructure.
