The meas­ures to pro­tect against cy­ber risks are di­vided in­to the fol­low­ing three do­mains:

a.

cy­ber se­cur­ity do­main: all meas­ures that serve to pre­vent and man­age in­cid­ents and to im­prove re­si­li­ence against cy­ber risks and that strengthen in­ter­na­tion­al co­oper­a­tion for this pur­pose;

b.

cy­ber de­fence do­main: all in­tel­li­gence and mil­it­ary meas­ures de­signed to pro­tect crit­ic­al sys­tems, de­fend against at­tacks in cy­ber­space, en­sure the op­er­a­tion­al read­i­ness of the Armed Forces in all situ­ations, and build ca­pa­cit­ies and cap­ab­il­it­ies to provide sub­si­di­ary sup­port to ci­vil­ian au­thor­it­ies; they in­clude act­ive meas­ures to re­cog­nise threats, to identi­fy ag­gressors and to dis­rupt and stop at­tacks;

c.

cy­ber pro­sec­u­tion do­main: all meas­ures taken by the po­lice and fed­er­al and can­ton­al pro­sec­utors to com­bat cy­ber crime.
