Liechtenstein Boosts Cyber Security Measures to Protect Financial Institutions

Enhancing Cybersecurity in the Principality of Liechtentein

In a concerted effort to shield its financial institutions from escalating cyber threats, the Principality of Liechtenstein has established a central hub for addressing all aspects of cyber risks. The Cyber Security Unit, serving as a one-stop-shop, aims to foster collaboration and information sharing on cybersecurity matters among various stakeholders.

Main Objectives

• Mitigate potential cyber threats
• Protect sensitive financial data from unauthorized access
• Provide a secure platform for reporting security incidents and submitting sensitive information

Reporting Security Incidents and Submitting Sensitive Information

Individuals or organizations can report security incidents or submit sensitive information via an encrypted online contact form. This ensures that all submitted information remains confidential throughout the process.

Dedicated Notification Form for Organizations

A dedicated notification form is available for reporting security incidents within an organization. These notifications enable the Cyber Security Unit to:

• Create situational pictures
• Identify potential correlations
• Initiate appropriate measures to prevent future attacks

By working closely with state authorities and critical infrastructure providers, the unit aims to issue timely warnings and take proactive steps in protecting Liechtenstein’s financial institutions from cyber threats.
