The advantages of the Secure Swiss Healthcare Network.

DDoS Schutz

The ultimate in cyber resilience.

Thanks to multipath-capable network architecture with SCION, DDoS attacks are effectively repelled and failover occurs in seconds—outages are a thing of the past.

Load Balancer

Data remains in Switzerland.

Thanks to a purely Swiss routing infrastructure, you retain full control over your sensitive data—ideal for compliance and data protection.

Swissness

Excellent network availability.

Redundant transport routes via multiple ISPs enable automatic path switching in the event of failures – maximum reliability for hospitals, medical practices, and laboratories.

DDoS Schutz

Any-to-any communication in the HIN trust domain.

Secure networking of all participating institutions in the healthcare sector – direct, protected, and efficient.

What is SSHN and how does it work?

The Secure Swiss Healthcare Network (SSHN) expands the HIN trust domain in accordance with the principles of SCION technology (“Scalability, Control and Isolation on next-generation Networks”) and enables:

  • A highly secure, protected communications infrastructure exclusively for authorized healthcare professionals

  • Automatic failover in the event of path failures

  • Communication via entirely Swiss networks with a clear governance structure

Why SCION?

DDoS protection at a new level.

Built-in concealment techniques (hidden paths) and transmitter-side path selection render attacks virtually ineffective.

Maximum stability and performance.

Native multipath functionality ensures ultra-fast path switching and optimizes latency, bandwidth, and availability.

Path control and optimization.

Supports geofencing, compliance requirements, and enables data-driven path decisions based on safety and performance.

Offer - EDGE-to-EDGE Encryption.

The latest software version enables EDGE-to-EDGE encryption on SCION. This feature is already being actively used by some SSFN participants. Further detailed information can be found on the Anapaya website.

 

EDGE-to-EDGE Encryption not only significantly increases data traffic security, but also reduces operating costs and increases availability to external partners. True to the motto: reducing complexity and costs while increasing security, stability, and availability.

 

The following points are required in order to use the “EDGE-to-EDGE Encryption” feature:

  • Ordering the Anapaya Pro license from Cyberlink (contract amendment)
  • Software version v0.39.0 (Cyberlink plans to roll out version v0.40.6 in February)
  • The respective connection partner also has an Anapaya Pro license and the required software version
  • Configuration of the connection on both sides

If you order the Pro license by March 31, 2026 at the latest, we will cover your additional costs for the first three months.

Webinar on demand - Bringing SCION to Microsoft Azure

In this webinar recording, experts from Anapaya and Cyberlink show you how to connect Microsoft Azure services to the SCION Internet architecture. They will guide you through the configuration and deployment process and then show you how SCION adds value to cloud applications by ensuring trusted connectivity and complete data path control. These benefits are not possible with the traditional internet.

In this practical webinar, you will learn:

What technical steps are required to connect Azure workloads via SCION.

How SCION improves security, sovereignty, and reliability for cloud-based applications.

What real-world use cases SCION already enables today.

How SCION supports compliance and operational continuity for critical workloads.
