Digital transformation drives growth, fueled by digitalization and AI. Automate for efficiency, use IoT for productivity and get hybrid, global work forces to accelerate your business.

The digital details are not just “details”

Digital assets and digital twins of physical products are streamlining operations. Customers specify, order and interact directly with your production line online. Operations are no longer bound to physical warehouses or production facilities; your support organization reaches deep and proactively into your customer’s value chain.

Digital transformation also means every step, every interaction is recordable. Such data is laying the groundwork for AI to perform its magic. With AI, optimization and efficiency are getting a new lever, accessing potential beyond what has been possible before. As a result, additional services, innovative products, and new revenue streams are on the rise.

It all began with global connectivity. The Internet infrastructure has been underpinning this progress since the 1980s. It was designed to connect people and devices – but now security has become the limiting factor.

Cyberattacks, data compliance challenges, and a lack of resilience have become the pressing issues of the Internet. More IoT devices are driving the trend and bringing down attack costs for organized crime, while cyber defense costs of critical infrastructure and services are exploding. This poses an existential threat to digital transformation. 

Leaders are facing the challenge of coming up with a digital growth strategy while potentially introducing cyber risks that put the entire company at stake. Every step towards more digital efficiency, new digital services and improved digital processes puts the question of cyber risk and security costs on the table.

Digital transformation with SCION 

In cybersecurity, we’ve seen this issue since the ‘90s. The market reached approximately 223 billion USD in 2023 and is growing annually by 12 -13 % (see: Cybersecurity market size, share, and trends analysis report by Grand View Research). These kinds of metrics cannot go unchallenged.

SCION is doing just that, fully deployed in Switzerland and already international. Designed at ETH Zurich, this sustainable way forward is an Internet protocol that meets the demands of digital transformation by addressing the root causes of today’s cybersecurity threats. It embeds the missing security properties, introduces a high resilience architecture plus implied data integrity. 

Businesses' digitalization initiatives benefit from reliable connections for critical processes. SCION supports the use of globally distributed AI resources, thanks to secure transmission of large datasets.

Building smarter businesses  

SCION brings back the beauty of the Internet: connecting people and devices while eliminating cyber threats by addressing the root causes of cyber risk. Case in point: the Secure Swiss Financial Network (SSFN), fully operational since 2021, chose SCION as its network to run the digital transformation that the Swiss financial market is going through, from instant payments to digital interbanking communication.
 
For smarter digital journeys, network security and cyber resilience are the keys to sustainable growth. The SCION Internet ensures you will stay on course.
