For Swiss companies with international subsidiaries in particular, cyber security is becoming a key factor for success, especially in complex restructurings - such as the establishment of subsidiaries, carve-outs or the establishment of national legal entities.
Global uncertainties, geopolitical tensions and volatile markets are increasing the pressure on companies to act quickly and flexibly without neglecting security. Added to this are growing dependencies on cloud providers, rising operating costs and tightening regulatory requirements.
Cyber criminals specifically use phases of change to attack companies at their most vulnerable points. That is why it is not enough to view cyber security as a static checklist. Companies need to see security structures as a dynamic element that is constantly being evaluated and optimized. This article sheds light on the challenges, identifies key risk factors and provides practical recommendations for a resilient and future-proof cyber security strategy.
Restructuring is often triggered by economic challenges such as stagnant growth, cost pressures, disruptive technologies, regulatory changes or geopolitical tensions. Companies are faced with the challenge of increasing operational efficiency without compromising their digital security. The following points are particularly critical:
Companies should see restructuring not only as an economic necessity, but also as a strategic opportunity to take their cyber security to a new level. Now is the time to close security gaps, modernize outdated processes and invest in future-proof technologies. An independent view from the outside creates clarity and provides concrete pointers for targeted improvements.
An independent cyber security assessment is the right starting point for a resilient security architecture. This allows you to identify specific weaknesses, prioritize measures and create a sound basis for sustainable security in times of change.
Establishing subsidiaries in new markets offers economic opportunities, but also brings with it numerous cyber security challenges.
Carve-outs are highly complex processes in which company divisions are separated organizationally and technically. Cyber security must be considered from the outset.
Regulatory requirements and country-specific cyber threats make the establishment of national legal entities particularly complex.
In order to protect company assets and sensitive information, basic security measures should be established that include both preventive and reactive protection mechanisms.
Outdated systems pose a significant security risk. Modernizing them requires a strategic approach to eliminate vulnerabilities while ensuring operational continuity.
Security measures for cloud-native environments
With the increasing shift of business processes to the cloud, it is crucial to develop security strategies that ensure data integrity, access control and continuous monitoring.
Change is inevitable - but security must not become a side issue. Restructuring offers the opportunity to bring security architectures up to date and thus not only minimize risks, but also strengthen the trust of customers, partner organizations and authorities.
Cyber security is a key success factor for sustainable corporate strategies. Implementing sound security measures and adhering to proven best practices enables companies to create resilient structures and operate successfully in the long term.
An independent cyber security assessment from InfoGuard helps you to identify vulnerabilities in a structured manner, efficiently meet regulatory requirements and further develop your security architecture in a targeted manner.
By means of concrete recommendations for action - on a technical, organizational and legal level - you will achieve greater resilience and trustworthy business processes for your company with the support of our specialist team.
