Taking your IT security to the next level, you have to consider a paradigm shift. In the past companies mostly invested resources to try to avoid security violations. Nowadays, you have to face the inevitable: a security breach can’t be fully prevented. You need to be able to detect it as quickly as possible to stop it in its early stages. You need a multi-layer defence strategy to detect attacks and secure your company, a combination of various sensors to improve transparency. Based on our experience managing Security Monitoring for various Swiss companies, we will share insights with you how to tackle this.

• Different types of attacks. What can be detected at which stage of the attack?
• Detection tools and methods. When to use automated alarming, when to rely on security staff.
• How to integrate tools into your internal organisation? Impacts on your daily business.

A customer of terreActive, the international private bank Coutts will afterwards explain why outsourcing of security services is an option. Coutts will share its experiences and will also provide an outlook of security measures that should be considered for the future. Coutts is an international private bank operating in Europe, Asia and many offshore centres and providing private banking, wealth management and investment services.
