Z\u00dcRICH–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)– \nThe 2025 ISG Provider Lens\u00ae<\/sup> Cybersecurity \u2013 Services and Solutions report for Switzerland finds that Swiss companies are facing a surge of sophisticated cyberattacks that often outpace traditional defenses. Though not always publicized, ransomware attacks are also on the rise, creating additional challenges for organizations already struggling with a shortage of cybersecurity specialists. Enterprises are engaging external providers, particularly security operations centers, and adopting AI-driven security measures to address these risks.<\/p>\n \n\u201cWith the increasing need to protect essential systems in Swiss enterprises, IT security has evolved into corporate security,\u201d said Uwe Ladwig, managing director, ISG. \u201cRemote work, including the widespread use of home offices, makes organizations more vulnerable to attacks.\u201d<\/p>\n \nDigitalization initiatives have made Swiss organizations more dependent on IT infrastructure and made cybersecurity a core element of business resilience, the report says. The move to cloud-based operations, coupled with the hybrid work modes, has led a growing number of companies to adopt advanced security models such as zero trust. Enterprises are moving beyond traditional perimeter defenses, implementing continuous network monitoring and mutual authentication as standard practices.<\/p>\n \nLegal and regulatory pressures, particularly those related to data protection, are also shaping enterprise priorities in Switzerland, ISG says. Organizations are strengthening their cybersecurity frameworks to comply with evolving regulations and safeguard sensitive information, particularly in banking and financial services. To meet these needs, many enterprises are seeking providers that emphasize \u201cSwissness\u201d \u2014 the development and delivery of IT products and services within Switzerland \u2014 for both compliance and cultural alignment.<\/p>\n \nSmall and midsize enterprises (SMEs) in Switzerland often have less mature cybersecurity systems than larger organizations, making it necessary to upgrade their defenses as threats and regulations expand. These needs are driving above-average growth in demand for modern cybersecurity solutions in the SME segment, the report says. Swiss SMEs especially value clear communication and cultural understanding by providers, and they are more likely to engage with partners that appreciate their unique requirements and operating environments.<\/p>\n \n\u201cBoth large and midsize clients in Switzerland increasingly seek managed security providers that use AI and automation, in addition to human expertise and experience, to efficiently address evolving threats,\u201d said Frank Heuer, principal analyst and lead cybersecurity analyst DACH, ISG Provider Lens Research, and lead author of the report. \u201cThey also seek advisory support, especially for AI and quantum-based risks, to stay ahead of cybercriminals.\u201d<\/p>\n \nThe report also explores global cybersecurity technology trends affecting Swiss enterprises, including increasing adoption of IAM, extended detection and response (XDR) and security service edge (SSE).<\/p>\n \nFor more insights into cybersecurity-related challenges that enterprises face in Switzerland, along with ISG\u2019s advice for addressing them, see the ISG Provider Lens\u00ae<\/sup> Focal Points briefing here<\/a>.<\/p>\n \nThe 2025 ISG Provider Lens\u00ae<\/sup> Cybersecurity \u2013 Services and Solutions report for Switzerland evaluates the capabilities of 97 providers across eight quadrants: Identity and Access Management (Global), Extended Detection and Response (Global), Security Service Edge (Global), Technical Security Services, Strategic Security Services, Next-Gen SOC\/MDR Services, Next-Gen SOC\/MDR Services \u2013Large Accounts and Next-Gen SOC\/MDR Services \u2013 Midmarket.<\/p>\n \nThe report names IBM as a Leader in six quadrants.
