We introduce a demo showcasing an interactive web platform developed as part of the SwissCyber Initiative, enabling data visualization on investments, acquisitions, employees, and firm-level metrics of cybersecurity companies operating in Switzerland. By integrating datasets and analytical indicators, the tool allows users to explore trends, relationships, and growth dynamics across the Swiss cybersecurity ecosystem. The platform aims to support evidence-based insights for policymakers, investors, and researchers, while illustrating the potential of data-driven approaches to map and understand the evolving cyber industry landscape.
