Methodology and sources

The data is based exclusively on publicly available sources: the reporting statistics published weekly by the Swiss Federal Office for Cybersecurity (BACS) and publicly disclosed ransomware cases via ransomware.live. n'guard does not collect its own reporting figures. Instead, it aggregates this data, puts it into context and translates it into actionable recommendations.

The figures reflect the number of cyber incidents reported, not the actual total in Switzerland. The number of unreported cases is likely to be higher for technically more sophisticated attacks than for widely recognised fraud schemes. This report contains no confidential or access-restricted information (TLP:CLEAR) and may be freely reused with attribution.
