In brief

The Federal Information Security Act (ISA), which only entered into force on 1 January 2024 is already being amended with an obligation to report cyberattacks for operators of critical infrastructures. The term "critical infrastructures" is defined in a broad manner and captures many private companies. On 18 January 2024, the deadline for challenging the amendment by way of a public referendum expired. This means that the amended version ("revISA") will become law, with the new obligation to report cyberattacks expected to come into force in 2025, although an exact date has not yet been set.  

In this alert, we address the most pressing questions around this new reporting obligation and provide you with important takeaways.
