New S-U-P-E-R campaign

“123456” – is that your pass­word? No doubt you will get closely acquainted with some cyber-crim­i­nals soon! You can find out how to pro­tect your access options prop­erly with the help of our new S-U-P-E-R campaign.

The S-U-P-E-R cam­paign is launched all over Switzer­land by the Nationales Zen­trum für Cyber­sicher­heit (NCSC), the Schweiz­erische Krim­i­nal­präven­tion (SKP) and also in co-oper­a­tion with “eBanking – but secure!”. It explains how you can effec­tively pro­tect your devices and access options against anyone else gaining access.

Pass­word manager

You should be using dif­ferent and secure pass­words (at least 12 char­ac­ters long, con­sisting of num­bers, upper and lower case let­ters as well as spe­cial char­ac­ters) every­where – which is no easy feat. A pass­word man­ager will help you with this by storing all your pass­words in encrypted form.

The video below explains all the advan­tages of using pass­word man­agers in a clear manner:

A list of rec­om­mended, some­times free pass­word man­agers can be found under ”Step 4 – pro­tecting online access” of our “5 steps for your dig­ital secu­rity”.

Two-factor authen­tifi­ca­tion (2FA)

In addi­tion to a pass­word man­ager, two-factor authen­tifi­ca­tion (2FA) will pro­vide even more secu­rity. In the process, a second, inde­pen­dent secu­rity com­po­nent is requested in addi­tion to the first secu­rity com­po­nent (gen­er­ally a pass­word) when log­ging in. This might be a code sent to your mobile phone or gen­er­ated directly on your device.

The video below explains how two-factor authen­tifi­ca­tion (2FA) works:
