Switzerland's Federal Government Is Replacing Microsoft on 3k Computers

Switzerland's Federal Chancellery launched a pilot replacing Microsoft 365 with open-source openDesk on 3,000 federal workstations by end of 2027.

Switzerland launched a CHF 9 million pilot to migrate 3,000 federal workstations (about 7% of the federal workforce) from Microsoft 365 to the German open-source openDesk suite, targeting completion by end of 2027. The move follows a successful 172-employee proof of concept (PoC BOSS) and the 2024 EMBAG open-source law, driven by digital sovereignty concerns about foreign access to Swiss government data. The Swiss Army's Cyber Command plans a faster migration, replacing Microsoft 365 with openDesk by October 2026, while Microsoft is investing over CHF 325 million in Swiss AI and cloud infrastructure.

Australia is replacing the Essential Eight with a new cyber framework. Here’s how exposure management can help you get ahead of it.

Australia's ASD is replacing the Essential Eight with an outcomes-based Essentials series covering IT, cloud, OT and likely agentic AI, with deprecation from mid-2027.

The Australian Signals Directorate announced in June 2026 that the Essential Eight will be replaced by an outcomes-focused Essentials series structured as chapters covering enterprise IT (including identity and SaaS), cloud, OT, and likely agentic AI. Deprecation begins around mid-2027 with full retirement around mid-2028, though timelines are targets; the Essential Eight is mandatory for roughly 98 non-corporate Commonwealth entities but voluntary for private firms. Tenable argues the shift demands continuous security posture evidence via exposure management rather than point-in-time checklist assessments.
