Cybersecurity leader joins forces with Cloud expert to create Swiss Expert Group.
Geneva, December 7, 2022 – e-Xpert Solutions SA, based in Plan-les-Ouates, and One Step Beyond SA, based in Gland, join forces to create the leading independent Cybersecurity and Cloud Consulting company in French-speaking Switzerland. Swiss Expert Group SA (SEG) brings together over 80 experts in the fields of Cybersecurity and Cloud Solutions.
Not a week goes by without reports in the press regarding a new attack that paralyzes the users of a company, an administration or an institution. In Switzerland, a quarter of the SMEs mention having been a victim of cyber-attacks and 84% of the companies declare having suffered one or more attacks in the last 12 months1. Simultaneously to this growing risk, organizations are increasingly turning to Cloud Solutions to benefit from more flexibility, mobility and manage investment constraints better. In 2021, 89% of companies have a multi-cloud strategy, and 80% of them have a hybrid approach, compared to 84% and 58% respectively in 20182.
The challenge is therefore to facilitate access to data, without creating vulnerabilities and the risk of exposing organizations to malicious actions. Complex equation, that Swiss Expert Group proposes to solve through its two entities: e-Xpert Solutions and One Step Beyond.
“When talking about the Cloud, security issues quickly come up in the conversation. Our unique approach to address the challenges faced by Swiss organizations: the creation of a specialized group, expert and native in the fields of Security and Cloud solutions. It ensures that companies and institutions benefit from all the innovation and agility of the Cloud, without any compromise on security, privacy and sovereignty“
“Cybersecurity has an essential role to play in ensuring that Swiss companies can benefit from the many advantages of new technologies. Our technological convictions and the total alignment of our service approach naturally led us to join forces with One Step Beyond. With more than 80 highly qualified experts and a service portfolio covering all aspects of Cybersecurity and Cloud solutions, the group is positioned at the forefront of the ecosystem of independent Swiss companies.”
“Check Point’s 2022 Cloud Security study confirms that 27 percent of companies have experienced a security incident in their public cloud infrastructure. 23% of these incidents were caused by poor cloud configurations. Cybersecurity and the Cloud are therefore closely linked to ensure optimal support for our customers. “In a technological environment that is evolving extremely rapidly, our mission is to enable our customers to benefit from technological advantages… and in complete security.”
