What is the Secure Swiss Utility Network (SSUN)?

A Brief Introduction

The Secure Swiss Utility Network (SSUN) is the secure communications network for the Swiss energy sector. It is based on SCION technology developed at ETH Zurich and enables controlled, highly available, and secure communication between energy suppliers, market partners, and service providers.

Why is SSUN important?

The energy sector is part of critical infrastructure and is increasingly the target of cyberattacks. At the same time, regulatory requirements are rising significantly. That is why the Secure Swiss Utility Network offers: 

  • Easier integration of new market partners and services
  • Reducing Complexity and Operating Costs
  • Enhanced Protection for Smart Metering Infrastructure: Semax's Amera-HES/KMS Cloud

Conclusion: The legal requirements for secure communication are increasing. SSUN provides a shared and trustworthy infrastructure to meet these requirements.

This significantly reduces administrative overhead and lays the foundation for a future-proof and scalable communication platform.

  • Reducing VPN Complexity and Operating Costs
  • Quick integration of new partners and services
  • Full transparency regarding all connected communication partners, as well as an up-to-date overview of connections for operations, the internal control system, and audits
  • Support for Regulatory Requirements
  • Relieve the Burden on Your IT Department with Managed Services
