Information and Alarm Tool (IAT)
ETH Zurich relies on an information and alarm tool (IAT), which has been in use since 2017.
In the event of evacuations and attacks, it allows the operator in the alarm control centre to alert affected persons, functionaries and rooms (such as lecture halls, computer rooms, etc.) at the touch of a button.
The following communication channels are used to sound the alarm:
- digitally signed e-mails
- landline calls (text-to-speech)
- text message (SMS) and text-to-speech on the mobile phone
- EVAK systems and mobile apps push notification (from April 2018)

IT security at ETH Zurich
At IT Services, IT security is an integral part of the overall lifecycle of a service – from the specification to the decommissioning.
IT security is varied and interdisciplinary. The expertise required ranges from raising awareness, communications in software development, project management, system hardening and operations through to security monitoring and incident management. The successful implementation of IT security can’t come from an ivory tower, but must rather be integrated into the day-to-day processes of all IT platforms and teams. This is the challenge that IT Services is tackling with the ITS security organisation. Weiterlesen
