Unfortunately, there is still a considerable deficit in this area. <strong>Backlog demand<\/strong>which should not be neglected. Many companies find it difficult to implement basic security measures and to keep the <strong>Awareness of cyber threats is often poor<\/strong>. Phishing attacks and poorly configured password policies are not uncommon and many SMEs even neglect to back up their data properly.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-f14a978a\">\n<style>.kb-image1984_bf7936-60 .kb-image-has-overlay:after{opacity:0.3;}<\/style>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-kadence-image kb-image1984_bf7936-60 size-medium_large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"533\" src=\"https:\/\/swissmakers.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/KMU-Sicherheit-768x533.png\" alt=\"Threats to cybersecurity for Swiss SMEs\" class=\"kb-img wp-image-6391\" srcset=\"https:\/\/swissmakers.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/KMU-Sicherheit-768x533.png 768w, https:\/\/swissmakers.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/KMU-Sicherheit-300x208.png 300w, https:\/\/swissmakers.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/KMU-Sicherheit-1024x711.png 1024w, https:\/\/swissmakers.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/KMU-Sicherheit-1536x1067.png 1536w, https:\/\/swissmakers.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/KMU-Sicherheit.png 1545w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-c59828f6 gb-headline-text\">Particularly in the area of <strong>Employee training<\/strong> there is <strong>urgent need for action<\/strong>. From an IT perspective, your own employees represent a major security risk, but with targeted training they can also become one of the company's best lines of defence. A well-trained employee can help the company in all aspects of cybersecurity. With the ever-increasing threats from tools such as ChatGPT, Bard and similar technologies, it is essential that <strong>Employees as the \"last resort of the defence\"<\/strong> are well informed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-6c282d0c gb-headline-text\">In addition to training courses <strong>Well-configured software and hardware solutions for backups and security policies<\/strong> essential to minimise the risk of data loss and attacks. Companies should rely on proven solutions here to take a further step towards an improved security structure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-3c75f15c gb-headline-text\">Another important improvement in the area of cybersecurity is the <strong>Implementation of a SIEM solution<\/strong> (Security Information and Event Management) in combination with <strong>with XDR<\/strong> (Extended Detection and Response) and configured patch management (e.g. Ansible). Such a solution enables <strong>Comprehensive monitoring of all systems<\/strong> and helps to recognise threats at an early stage and respond to them efficiently. It is pleasing that there are now also low-cost solutions that are affordable for SMEs and can offer enormous added value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-f4eb05ec gb-headline-text\">Stay tuned as we will soon be publishing another blog post dealing in detail with SIEM solutions, XDR and the important topic of patch management. <strong>We would like to support you<\/strong>to continuously improve your cybersecurity measures and protect your company from the threats of the digital world.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In today's digital world, cybersecurity is crucial for companies, especially for Swiss SMEs. <\/p>\n<p class=\"read-more-container\"><a title=\"Need for action: Cybersecurity at Swiss SMEs\" class=\"read-more button\" href=\"https:\/\/swissmakers.ch\/en\/cybersecurity-bei-schweizer-kmu\/#more-1984\" aria-label=\"Read more about Need for action: Cybersecurity at Swiss SMEs\">Read more<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":1125,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_eb_attr":"","_kad_blocks_custom_css":"","_kad_blocks_head_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_body_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_footer_custom_js":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[49],"class_list":["post-1984","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-itsecurity","tag-security","generate-columns","tablet-grid-50","mobile-grid-100","grid-parent","grid-50","resize-featured-image"],"taxonomy_info":{"category":[{"value":15,"label":"IT-Security"}],"post_tag":[{"value":49,"label":"security"}]},"featured_image_src_large":["https:\/\/swissmakers.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/AdobeStock_558887828-1024x683.jpeg",1024,683,true],"author_info":{"display_name":"Martin Walther","author_link":"https:\/\/swissmakers.ch\/en\/author\/martin\/"},"comment_info":0,"category_info":[{"term_id":15,"name":"IT-Security","slug":"itsecurity","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":15,"taxonomy":"category","description":"","parent":0,"count":9,"filter":"raw","cat_ID":15,"category_count":9,"category_description":"","cat_name":"IT-Security","category_nicename":"itsecurity","category_parent":0}],"tag_info":[{"term_id":49,"name":"security","slug":"security","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":49,"taxonomy":"post_tag","description":"","parent":0,"count":4,"filter":"raw"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/swissmakers.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1984","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/swissmakers.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/swissmakers.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swissmakers.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swissmakers.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1984"}],"version-history":[{"count":13,"href":"https:\/\/swissmakers.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1984\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6454,"href":"https:\/\/swissmakers.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1984\/revisions\/6454"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swissmakers.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1125"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/swissmakers.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1984"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swissmakers.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1984"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swissmakers.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1984"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
