Implementation
The FITSU lends support to the IT security official per department and per organisation (ISOD / ISOO) in implementing the fundamentals and provides them with the necessary tools. With MELANI, the Reporting and Analysis Centre for Information Assurance, the FITSU also offers useful information, checklists and tutorials to home computer and Internet users.
National and international cooperation
The FITSU uses joint projects and events to foster cooperation with national and international committees.
In Switzerland, these include InfoSurance, Information Security Society Switzerland (ISSS) and ISACA, as well as the International Security Forum (ISF).
A declaration to cooperate has been signed with the BSI in Germany and the A-SIT in Austria. Every two years an international event entitled "Verwaltung integriert sichere Informationstechnologien ViS!T" (Government integrates secure information technologies) will be held alternately in one of the three countries.
