Cybersecurity is at the center of all concerns. And France is not saved. France is, in fact, the fifth country in the world in the crosshairs of data hijacking, while 90% of health facilities have faced at least one attempted attack. A critical situation for which there are many reasons.
Nicolas Servage, CEO of Apixit, a business services company specializing in cybersecurity and digital infrastructure, confirms this. For the latter, there are several causes for the exponential multiplication of cyberattacks. “The first has its origin in the transformation of uses with the acceleration of the phenomena of mobility and teleworking. Second, the widespread use of the cloud leads to much larger attack surfaces. Finally, the advent of new technologies, such as artificial intelligence, allows sorcerer’s apprentices to enter the world of cyberattacks. »
Responding to the shortage of specialists
Hackers who therefore need to be countered. But do we have enough specialists in the field in France? Not really, according to Philippe Haïk, academic director of ESIEE-IT, a digital expertise school that trains its students in cybersecurity in particular. “From Bac+2 to Bac+5, the shortage exists for all profiles, explains the latter. That is why we have launched within our school a diversity of training offers, both for higher education students and for employees in the context of continuing education, to respond to this problem. . »
The particularly vulnerable health sector
While large companies are well aware of the problem, this is often less the case for VSEs/SMEs and ETIs. But in many respects, one of the most affected sectors continues to be health, which is very vulnerable, explains Sébastien Annequin, CEO of 123 CS (Verso Healthcare group). “Health facilities face a double problem. First of all, only 0.1% of its revenue is dedicated to computer protection. Furthermore, the salary level offered does not allow them to retain their experts. To help them, we offer them an offer in an insurance format that includes an audit and then long-term support, including in terms of communication. »
In the face of danger, one thing remains certain. In an increasingly open and connected world, the opportunities for attacks will increase even further. Hence the obligation of organizations to protect themselves. An imperative more current than ever.
