SSFN is a freshly built network that protects financial institutions against cyber risks, allows for flexible any-to-any communication between participating financial institutions, and is secure and resilient. William Boye, the Head of Network services at the Swiss National Bank, shares some reflections on setting up the SSFN, and how this addresses some of the current vulnerabilities of the legacy internet for financial institutions. He discusses how to build rules for the use of a safe internet, such as SCiON, as a common resource. Fritz Steinmann, the Senior Network & Network Security Architect at SIX provides insights into how the SSFN ensures smooth, and secure payment transactions in the banking services division of SIX.
