Under the terms of the new partnership, the SIX SOC powered by IBM will provide clients access to the latest IBM cognitive security tools used to fight cybercrime.

By using the IBM Security capabilities, SIX will be able to deliver advanced security services to its existing financial industry customers, as important building blocks for the offering.

Besides adding new capabilities to a traditional SOC infrastructure, the project will develop a new, highly collaborative IBM – SIX framework for the multi-tenant, next generation SOC, according to IBM.

Customers of both companies, who are looking for a trusted Swiss-based security partner, will be able to use the new cognitive SOC services.
