Zug, Switzerland – August 10, 2026 – A new Swiss organization has been established to address one of the most important technological challenges of the coming years: the convergence of Cybersecurity and Artificial Intelligence.
The SCAI – Swiss Cyber AI Organization aims to bring together CISOs, CIOs, AI experts, technology providers, researchers, executives, start-ups, public-sector representatives and other stakeholders to strengthen knowledge exchange, collaboration and resilience in an increasingly AI-driven digital environment.
As Artificial Intelligence evolves from traditional analytical tools toward Agentic AI and autonomous systems, organizations are facing an entirely new category of security, governance and operational risks.
Cybersecurity and Artificial Intelligence can no longer be treated as separate disciplines.
AI is changing both offensive and defensive capabilities in cybersecurity. At the same time, AI systems themselves must be protected against manipulation, misuse, compromised identities, untrusted tools, poisoned memory, unauthorized actions and uncontrolled autonomous decision-making.
SCAI has been created to address these challenges.
A Platform for Cybersecurity and AI Leaders
The Swiss Cyber AI Organization is designed as an independent platform for knowledge sharing, education, research and collaboration.
Its objective is to connect professionals and organizations working on the real-world impact of AI and cybersecurity and to support the development of practical approaches to security, governance and digital resilience.
Key areas of focus include:
- Cybersecurity and Artificial Intelligence
- Agentic AI and autonomous systems
- AI Security
- AI Governance
- Cyber and AI Risk Management
- Privacy and Data Protection
- Digital and Cyber Resilience
- Responsible AI
- AI standards and certifications
- Emerging attack and defence models
- Security awareness and education
- Research and knowledge exchange
From Discussion to Practical Collaboration
SCAI plans to support a broad range of initiatives, including conferences, executive roundtables, workshops, research projects, educational programs, challenges and hackathons.
A central objective is to create an environment where security leaders, researchers, technology providers and decision-makers can exchange practical experience and jointly address emerging challenges.
The organization intends to go beyond traditional networking.
Its ambition is to build a long-term community capable of developing practical knowledge, sharing best practices and contributing to new approaches for securing increasingly autonomous digital environments.
Strengthening Switzerland as a Trusted Technology Hub
Switzerland combines a strong research ecosystem, international companies, advanced technological capabilities and a long-standing reputation for trust, privacy and security.
SCAI believes these characteristics provide a strong foundation for Switzerland to play an important role in the future of secure and trustworthy Artificial Intelligence.
The organization wants to contribute to an environment in which innovation, security and responsibility reinforce each other rather than compete with one another.
Open to Companies, Experts and Partners
The Swiss Cyber AI Organization is open to companies, cybersecurity professionals, AI specialists, researchers, executives, technology providers and partner organizations that want to actively contribute to the future of cybersecurity and Artificial Intelligence.
SCAI invites interested organizations and professionals to participate in its initiatives, contribute expertise and become part of a growing Swiss and international community focused on the secure development and adoption of AI.
