Swissquote, a Swiss digital bank, has committed CHF 2.5 million to support the Zurich Information Security & Privacy Centre (ZISC) at ETH Zurich.

The funding will bolster long-term research and education in information security, fraud prevention and data protection.

With cybercrime evolving rapidly, particularly through the rise of AI-driven fraud, financial institutions and service providers face growing challenges.

ZISC brings together researchers and industry partners to develop new technologies, methods and strategies to counter digital threats.

Swissquote’s contribution is intended to advance the development of security solutions and strengthen the exchange of knowledge between research and practice.

According to the bank, this will help build “a trustworthy digital infrastructure” and safeguard sensitive data and assets.
