Given the explosion in threats in recent years, attackers are becoming better equipped and the scenarios more sophisticated. Against a backdrop of increasing digitisation and massive use of remote services since the health crisis, the number of cyber attacks is rising every year. This increase can be explained in particular by the structuring and specialisation of cybercriminal networks.

Why take cyber security measures?

Investing in cyber security offers considerable benefits for your organisation, including:

• Financial value: Protect your assets and avoid the costs associated with security incidents.
• Reputational value: Maintain the trust of your customers and partners.
• Intangible value: Preserve your sensitive data and intellectual property.
• Human value: Ensure the security and confidentiality of your employees’ and customers’ information.

By investing in cybersecurity, you create value for your company, both externally and internally.
