Swiss Infosec: New Head of IT Security Consulting

With the creation of an IT security consulting team at management level, Swiss Infosec AG is reorganizing its IT security division. By setting up the new competence center for IT security, the company is responding to current security needs, e.g. in connection with ransomware attacks, penetration tests or working from home, and is continuing to position itself as an established partner for comprehensive services in the broad field of integral security. In this context, Niklaus Manser took over the role of Head of IT Security Consulting on April 1, 2022. Manser previously headed up the IT Security specialist team, an area that has long been one of the company's core competencies alongside information security and data protection. In addition to his new role, he will also become a member of the Executive Board. He acquired his technical expertise in various IT activities and through his studies at Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts. As a certified ISO 27001 Lead Auditor at Swiss Infosec AG, he has been supporting customers as an external IT Security Officer in consulting projects, training courses and mandates since 2017. At the same time, he has been involved in the development and expansion of the company's IT security division, which he will now further strengthen in his new role. Swiss Infosec AG, based in Sursee, is one of Switzerland's leading independent consulting and training companies in the fields of information security, data protection and IT security. The company was founded in 1989 and, together with its sister company Swiss GRC AG, employs over 65 people who have supported over 2,500 projects in the area of integral security for small and large customers from all sectors.
