IT Guidelines and IT Baseline Protection Rules: new edition now online
In this day and age, protection against cyberattacks is absolutely essential. This is a challenge for all of us. The current version of the IT Guidelines and IT Baseline Protection Rules outlines which security measures we need to implement at all costs.
- Are you a system or network zone administrator?
- Do you provide a cloud service to users at ETH Zurich?
If so, then you have probably already implemented the necessary security measures to protect against cyberattacks and ensure the secure operation of your systems and services.
Relevant for all users
You are not responsible for the administration of IT systems or services?
As a user, you make an important contribution to cyber security. For example, by downloading security updates to your systems as quickly as possible and by keeping an eye out for phishing or fraud e-mails.
The 2022 edition of the "IT Guidelines and IT Baseline Protection Rules" is online
Keeping track of the security measures relevant in a given section is not always easy.
ETH Zurich therefore defined a binding minimum standard of security measures in 2021. This standard is updated annually. The 2022 edition of the "IT Guidelines and IT Baseline Protection Rules" has just been published.
The rules are structured according to roles and are aimed at people with responsibility for IT systems or services, as well as all users. For example, in Article 8, you can read the "IT baseline protection rules for users" and find out what needs to be observed in the day-to-day use of IT systems and services.
