🇨🇭 SWITZERLAND PLANS NEW CYBERSECURITY LAW ADDRESSING OPEN-SOURCE SOFTWARE

The Swiss Federal Council is moving to create a standalone federal cybersecurity law, explicitly citing open-source software as an area that could receive a more comprehensive regulatory approach.

The law would consolidate rules covering software and hardware security, critical digital data, cloud and hosting providers, and cyberattack reporting.

It would also establish binding requirements for manufacturers, importers and distributors, including market surveillance and the ability to ban sales of insecure products.

A consultation draft is due by June 2027.
