The 2024 forecast for IT services and cybersecurity in Switzerland revolves around several emerging trends, influenced by the developments and lessons of 2023.
The previous year highlighted the crucial importance of cybersecurity in an increasingly digitized world, and 2024 should see a continuation and deepening of these trends. 
In this first article of the year 2024, let’s take a look at the future forecasts that will punctuate this new year in terms of IT and cybersecurity.
Forecast 1: Cloud computing on the rise
Swiss companies, having recognized the benefits in terms of flexibility and efficiency, are expected to increase their use of cloud services. Read our article on the Swiss cloud with Infomaniak. However, this will also raise increased security challenges, as sensitive data will be stored off-site.
In response, increased investment in cloud security solutions, such as next-generation firewalls and cloud security platforms, is expected.
Forecast 2: increasingly advanced cybersecurity technologies
The threat of sophisticated cyberattacks, such as those seen in 2023, will drive businesses to adopt advanced cybersecurity technologies.
Artificial intelligence and machine learning will be increasingly used to detect and respond to threats in real time.
These technologies will enable faster, more accurate analysis of threats, improving companies’ ability to prevent attacks before they cause damage.
Forecast 3: Raising awareness of cybersecurity is a priority
Cybersecurity awareness and employee training will be priorities.
Companies will recognize that cybersecurity is not just a question of technology, but also of human behavior.
Regular training programs and awareness campaigns will help reduce the risks associated with human error and reinforce the security culture.
At Infologo, continuing to promote our micro-learning training format with Riot is one of our main objectives.
Forecast 4: The HPA between application and evolution
Cybersecurity regulations, known as the Swiss Data Protection Act, are set to continue evolving in 2024.
Swiss authorities may introduce new laws or update existing regulations to meet emerging challenges, pushing companies to comply with stricter security standards. 
What you need to remember to start 2024
In conclusion, 2024 promises to be a year of consolidation and innovation for IT services and cybersecurity in Switzerland. Businesses will continue to adapt to new technologies while strengthening their defenses against an ever-growing range of cyber threats. For Infologo, our objectives for 2024 are to continue raising our customers’ awareness of cybersecurity with our dedicated training courses.
We encourage our customers to seek support in this area through managed online security services.
Lastly, our ESG environmental approach, which began in 2023, is continuing and will be developed in 2024.
We will continue to communicate on this perspective specific to Infologo.
