Cybersecurity and security breaches

Cyberspace is the virtual communication space in which cybersecurity and cyberdefense law are embedded. Cyberspace has become the fifth field of conflict after land, sea, air and space.

The need for global security for citizens and businesses is also leading to an increase in controls, and therefore a possible violation of individual freedoms. This is why it is essential to provide a legal framework for all cybersecurity and cyber-defense initiatives.

Cybersecurity law addresses all the risks and deliberate threats of human origin that are liable to damage a company’s various assets (technological, scientific, economic, image). Cybersecurity is the search for a state of an information system that enables it to withstand events in cyberspace likely to compromise the availability, integrity or confidentiality of the data stored, processed or transmitted, and the related services that these systems offer or make accessible. Cybersecurity therefore calls on information systems security techniques, and relies on the fight against cybercrime and the implementation of cyberdefense.

Cyberdefense law extends the scope of security requirements imposed on operators of essential services (OSEs), who must take the necessary technical and organizational measures, proportionate and adapted to the management of risks threatening the security of networks and information systems essential to the maintenance of critical economic and social activities. Attacks on information systems and networks are increasingly targeted and complex, and are made possible by the use of technology.

Companies must take cybersecurity risk into account. To do so, companies must implement a specific watch to identify cyberthreats to their activities. Only then will management be able to anticipate and react to the various cyber threats to their business.

The network’s cybersecurity and cyberdefense services cover the following areas:
