Help organisations stay one step ahead of cyber threats

Cyber attacks are no longer a question of if, but when. While prevention remains important, organisations increasingly rely on their ability to detect threats early, respond effectively, and recover quickly.

At Deloitte, we help some of Switzerland's largest and most critical organisations build and transform their cyber defence capabilities. From designing Cyber Defence Centres and Security Operations Centres to improving incident response, deploying security technologies, and exploring AI-enabled security operations, we help our clients strengthen their resilience against an ever‑evolving threat landscape.

If you are passionate about cyber defence, enjoy solving complex challenges, and want to work at the intersection of strategy, operations, and technology, this is the opportunity for you.

• Support the development of detection use cases, monitoring capabilities, automation workflows, and security operations processes
• Conduct cyber defence assessments, maturity reviews, and benchmarking exercises to identify improvement opportunities
• Support incident response readiness activities, including playbook development, tabletop exercises, and crisis preparedness initiatives
• Evaluate emerging technologies and help clients understand how innovations such as AI-powered security operations can enhance detection and response capabilities
• Work closely with specialists across Deloitte to deliver integrated cyber security solutions that create measurable value for clients
• Contribute to business development, thought leadership, and the continued growth of Deloitte's Detect & Respond practice
