More Intelligent, Rapid and Precise
Business data is a company’s most precious commodity. Several studies have shown that companies in Switzerland tend to underestimate the risk of a cyber-attack. SIX has set up the first Security Operations Center (SOC), developed specifically to the needs of the financial center. The SOC of SIX works around the clock (24x7x365) and is the first in Switzerland to use IBM Watson cognitive computing.
The network run by SIX links the participants in the Swiss financial center. Every activity in this network can be security-relevant. SIX has been operating its SOC since 2018 to provide optimum protection. Every day it collects and correlates two billion security events, at peak times over 30,000 per second: individual events reveal little, correlations only become obvious when viewed en masse.

How It Works
Security Operations Center (SOC)
A Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) appliance at your premises collects and aggregates security logs and net flow data from various sources such as firewalls, applications etc. in real time. Offenses are forwarded to the SOC of SIX. Security analysts analyze and detect these abnormalities in real time with the help of cognitive computing. In case of a true positive event (security incident), our team will immediately alert and support you.
Cyber Security Hub
Protection against cyber attacks is an essential foundation stone for the attractiveness and stability of the Swiss financial center. Cooperation of the organizations involved is necessary in order to increase the cyber resilience of the whole financial center. SIX orchestrates several information-sharing communities and provides valuable information – for example, use cases – to the community.
