Safe and savvy: we help you work around the risks and proactively combat cyberattacks and threats.
In PwC’s latest CEO survey, 93% of Swiss business leaders express concern about cyberthreats – and 43% (versus 26% in the previous year’s survey) see cyber-risks as the biggest threat to their company’s growth prospects. At the same time, efforts to counter the cyber threats are perceived to be lagging, with 46% of Swiss CEOs believing their organisation needs to take more action on cybersecurity and data protection.
Our aim is to help companies bridge this gap – not just by making up lost ground, but by transforming the expense of cybersecurity and privacy into an investment in what is potentially their most precious asset: trust.
Trust in institutions is being eroded, and people are increasingly concerned about their personal and digital security and whether they can rely on the truthfulness of information. Companies also might feel threatened by technological transformation and the societal changes it brings.
We support your efforts to build trust and protect your business – not just to ward off and respond to actual cyber attacks, but also to give you the confidence to take the initiative, transform and thrive in an uncertain but highly rewarding environment. With a mastery of the technology of cybersecurity and a deep understanding of business, we help you make security the very foundation of your success.
Our clients value the way we combine people, technology and business savvy to support you all the way from strategy to execution and operation – helping you achieve resilience, security and compliance along the way.
