Securing the Eurovision Song Contest 2025

Our mission focused on protecting people, the event, and Switzerland's reputation, with ELCASecurity acting as chief information security officer in collaboration with key partners including Microsoft, the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), SRG SSR, and Switzerland's National Cyber Security Center.​

In partnership with Microsoft, ELCASecurity delivered a federated security architecture powered by the Microsoft security suite that mitigated over 5,000 threats, including phishing, DoS attacks, and disinformation. Solutions included "digital sanctuaries" for critical assets, real-time network monitoring at the venue for anomaly detection, and a threat intelligence program anticipating geopolitical, technical, and environmental risks.​​

Early integration into the security team set cybersecurity requirements in RFPs, briefed suppliers, and maintained an open hotline for support. A single governance structure with the host city, SRG SSR, and EBU enabled seamless execution and clear supplier dialogue without disruptions.​
