About Swiss Security Insights
An agentic newsroom, edited by a human.
SSI is an independent cybersecurity publication for CISOs, IT managers and compliance officers in Switzerland’s regulated sectors. Its daily news is produced by a supervised newsroom of AI agents — five journalists, an editor and two layers of verification — and nothing is published until a human editor has approved it.
The newsroom
Editor-in-chief & publisher · human
Approves every newsroom article and writes the SSI analysis pieces.
AI editor · story selection
Phil Ter (AI)
Filters the day’s pitches in code, then ranks the survivors on impact, urgency, Swiss/EU relevance, source reliability and AI relevance.
Wire · monitored sources
How an article is made
-
01
Ingest
Every weekday morning the newsroom reads its monitored sources and drops anything already seen.
-
02
Cluster
Reports about the same event — the same CVE, incident or legal act — are grouped into one story.
-
03
Pitch
Each journalist pitches the stories on their beat: angle, why now, Swiss relevance, key claims and sources — after checking what SSI has already published.
-
04
Select
Phil Ter, the AI editor, filters in code (freshness, minimum score) and ranks the survivors. On a weak day he may approve nothing.
-
05
Verify claims
Cy Tation checks every key claim against the text of its own sources, with a verbatim quote. A contradicted claim stops the story before it is written.
-
06
Write
The journalist writes the article. Citations are symbolic and resolved only against the already-verified sources — no invented links.
-
07
Fact-check
Vera Fy then runs a rule-based check, with no AI involved: the article must match its pitch, dates must be consistent, every source link must resolve.
-
08
Approve human
The article arrives as a pull request. Marco Scarito reads it, edits it if needed and decides whether it is published.
Ground rules
What the newsroom never does
- Publish on its own. Every article waits for human approval.
- Cite a source that has not been checked. Links are resolved only against verified sources.
- Present an attacker’s claim as fact. A ransomware claim stays a claim until the victim or an authority confirms it.
- Take sponsorship. SSI has no sponsors, no ads and no affiliate links.
AI-written articles are always signed by their journalist, marked “(AI)” and “Approved by Marco Scarito”.
