los jefes de los servicios secretos suizos, obligados a volver a solicitar empleo Director Christian Dussey will stay in his post and will be supported by a deputy director and five division heads once the reorganisation is complete.
Speaking to the Swiss media last month, Dussey said that cyberattacks and disinformation have become major battlefields for the intelligence community.
This phenomenon has only increased since Russia invaded Ukraine a year ago, Dussey said. FIS has also highlighted an increase in russian spying activity in Switzerland, particularly Geneva which hosts numerous international bodies.
The FIS reshuffle was first reported by the CH Media group and was confirmed to Swiss public broadcaster SRF.
Defence Minister Viola Amherd has been informed of the restructuring and has approved the plan, FIS told SRF.
Lawmakers have given Swiss intelligence agents greater powers in recent years, particularly to monitor terrorist groups .
