Comprehensive security check
Upon founding the association, the Swiss Internet Security Alliance is launching a security check. The Swiss Security Check provides protection on three levels.
- Users with outdated or incorrectly configured software who are therefore subject to a security risk, will find this out within seconds.
- If there is suspicion of malware, the malware cleaner helps with the diagnosis and resolution of the problems.
- A cyber vaccine completes the protection and keeps electronic pests at bay.
