By 2028, we will enhance the protection of our customers' private data to prevent cyberattacks by increasing database security and strengthening authentication measures across the board.
Biometric authentication: Implement biometric authentication for customer accounts to ensure optimal account security.
Multi-level authentication: Develop and implement a multi-factor authentication solution that provides additional layers of security and significantly reduces the risks of cyberattacks.
Secure database architecture: Implement an advanced database architecture with split storage and encryption to ensure the integrity and confidentiality of sensitive customer data.
Access control system and security audits: Implement a strict access control system and conduct regular security audits to identify and address potential vulnerabilities and ensure compliance with data protection regulations.
Stress tests and penetration tests: Conduct regular stress tests and penetration tests to examine the robustness and resilience of your systems against various threat scenarios.
Develop contingency plans: Create contingency plans for system failures or security breaches, including clear communication and recovery strategies.
IP portfolio review and assessment: Conduct regular reviews of the IP portfolio to identify and phase out unnecessary or obsolete patents and copyrights. This helps reduce administrative and legal costs and minimise the risk of IP-related legal disputes.
Cooperation and licence agreements: Foster cooperation and establish licence agreements to facilitate the use of IP and avoid conflicts. This can be particularly beneficial for SMEs to drive innovation and capitalise on market opportunities.
Improving data protection in Swiss IT companies safeguards sensitive data, strengthens customer trust and fulfils legal requirements. This reduces the risk of data breaches, increases competitiveness (e.g. by protecting and promoting intellectual property) and promotes responsible corporate governance, which strengthens the company's success and reputation in the long term.
