Yep, that pretty much mirrors my own experience as well, and I am also Swiss.

Sadly, IT companies in Switzerland aren't serious about security. Even big, reputable firms have been shown to be sub par when it comes to it... One of such incidents involved a highly reputable firm in Geneva that had many federal contracts. They got a data breach and their dirty laundry got aired out in the open: passwords to client networks/accounts/... were stored in clear text, contracts and other confidential information barely protected...

So I'd say, while in Switzerland we do some things right, IT ain't it.

Then on the other hand, Scala was developed in Switzerland, and Pascal before that. :)
