Networks play a crucial role in critical infrastructures as they connect the various components with each other and enable communication. A network switch is a central element of any network infrastructure that controls data traffic within a local area network (LAN). In CRITIS environments, such as energy supply facilities, financial institutions, transportation systems or healthcare, reliable networks are critical to normal operations. If a switch does not function properly or is compromised by security incidents, this can have a significant impact on the entire infrastructure. It is therefore important to include network components such as switches in the risk assessment and security strategies of CRITIS organizations. This includes aspects such as redundancy, monitoring, security policies and update processes to ensure that the network infrastructure is robust and protected
