Tresorit Insights ??

Tresorit & the solution SwissID Sign by SwissSign

Tresorit teamed up with SwissSign to enable qualified electronic signature (QES) that is legally equivalent to a handwritten signature* in Switzerland.

By integrating with the existing Tresorit solution, customers benefit from maximum security when collaborating with external partners, while the quick and easy identification process ensures the highest possible user experience. The qualified eSignature functionality will initially be launched on a Switzerland-exclusive basis and is available to Swiss customers in the form of an add-on.


"In Switzerland, the requirements are regulated in the Federal Electronic Signature Act (ZertES). Only the particularly demanding qualified electronic signature is legally equivalent to the hand signature. However, such high requirements for IT security are classically associated with high complexity, which is frequently at the expense of ease of use. This is particularly true of the qualified electronic signature - a status quo that we want to break with our new solution." says Julian Santillan, Sales Manager Switzerland at Tresorit AG.

Industry News Snippets ??

Cybersecurity and Encryption News

Lately, the most significant attacks on electrical systems have demonstrated that hacking is hardly necessary when physical destruction and sabotage are an option: Just as Russia’s invasion force in Ukraine has?systematically destroyed electrical infrastructure?to cause vast blackouts across the country, a mysterious and continuing series of physical attacks have hit power utilities in the American southeast—and in one case, have caused an extended outage for tens of thousands of people.

Privacy and Data Protection

Elon Musk’s desire to stir conspiratorial shit up by giving select outsiders aligned with his conservative agenda access to Twitter systems and data could land the world’s richest man in some serious doodoo with regulators on both sides of the Atlantic.

The Court of Justice of the European Union has dismissed as inadmissible an action brought by WhatsApp against a decision of the European Data Protection Board, it said in a statement on Wednesday.

The Swiss government has asked Parliament to amend the Information Security Act to make it mandatory for critical infrastructure providers to report cyber-attacks to the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC).
