SSUN

Secure your utility infrastructure with confident, fail-safe connectivity

Redefining connectivity for energy and utilities

SSUN is a SCION-powered network for Switzerland’s utility sector. SCION combines the accessibility of the public internet with private network control.

With the increase in cyber threats and disruptions, utility infrastructure is exposed to growing risks. The Secure Swiss Utility Network (SSUN), operated by Gas&Com and based on SCION technology, provides sovereign, always-available connectivity. It ensures secure data routing, complete path control, and instant failover—keeping critical utility operations protected and always running.

Is your utility infrastructure prepared for growing cyber and operational risks?
Utility infrastructure is constantly exposed to cyberattacks, operational disruptions, and data vulnerabilities. Power generation, grid operations, IoT devices, and remote telemetry require continuous connectivity. But the traditional internet can no longer guarantee the reliability and security that critical utility systems require.

Risk from cyber threats

The dependency of the public internet exposes critical supply systems to cyberattacks and service interruptions. SSUN eliminates this risk with SCION-based routing.

Lack of data sovereignty

Routing sensitive data via third-party infrastructures poses compliance risks. SSUN keeps all data paths within Switzerland for full sovereignty.

Network downtime

Traditional networks lack fast failovers. SSUN’s SCION-based routing ensures real-time failover for business-critical systems.

Unprecedented control

Define routing paths, manage access levels, and ensure secure data flow across every connection within your energy network.

Reliable resilience

Ensure seamless operation with path switching in less than a second and guarantee uninterrupted connectivity even during interruptions or failures.

Inherent safety

SCION’s architecture is designed to address modern vulnerabilities and provide robust protection for critical energy infrastructure against cyber threats, including DDoS and intrusion attacks.

Optimized performance

Achieve peak network efficiency by minimizing latency, jitter, and packet loss, and ensuring real-time communication for energy systems and IoT devices.
