Midsize Swiss enterprises often demonstrate
a preference for cybersecurity solutions and services that are
locally based, ISG Provider Lens™ report says
Swiss enterprises that are feeling an increased risk of
AI-enhanced cyberattacks are looking for solutions and services
that can provide equally sophisticated cybersecurity protection,
according to a new research report published today by Information
Services Group (ISG) (Nasdaq: III), a leading global technology
research and advisory firm.
The 2024 ISG Provider Lens™ Cybersecurity - Solutions and
Services report for Switzerland finds that although advances in AI
and quantum technology could lead to new and more devastating
threats to Swiss enterprises, a growing number of cybersecurity
providers are poised and ready to fight fire with fire. Enterprises
in Switzerland increasingly expect these providers to implement
innovative solutions, including AI, automation and proactive
prevention services, to stay ahead in the race against
cybercriminals, the ISG report says.
“Many Swiss companies, especially midsize ones, are suffering
from a shortage of cybersecurity specialists,” said Uwe Ladwig,
managing director, ISG Switzerland. “That is why their IT managers
are turning to external services, such as security operations
centers, for assistance.”
Concerns about cybersecurity extend beyond the company’s own
protection, the ISG report says. Stringent legal regulations are
forcing Swiss enterprises to implement stronger security measures
to prevent cyberattacks, the report says. These measures apply
especially to data protection, which has long been a top priority
in Switzerland, a country known throughout the world for the
privacy of its banking, ISG says. The assets of these big banks are
heavily dependent on data, the ISG report says.
In addition, there is generally greater trust in Switzerland's
own resources, the ISG report says. According to the report,
this attitude has been further strengthened in recent years by
concerns about the data protection agreement with the U.S. As a
result, providers of IT products and IT services that can offer
those services in Switzerland are attracting greater interest from
Swiss enterprises, ISG says. According to the report, this applies
especially to the operation of solutions, such as cloud solutions
and security operations centers. Midsize Swiss companies, in
particular, seem to attach considerable importance to what is
commonly referred to as “Swissness,” and are apt to give an edge to
locally based providers, the ISG report says.
“Midsize Swiss enterprises often have distinct cybersecurity
requirements,” said Jan Erik Aase, partner and global leader, ISG
Provider Lens Research. “When looking for a provider, they consider
communication and cultural aspects as particularly important in the
decision-making process.”
The report also examines how what was once just considered IT
security has steadily evolved into corporate security.

enterprises in Switzerland face, including contending with
regulations and anticipating future threats, and ISG’s advice for
addressing them, see the ISG Provider Lens™ Focal Points briefing
