Information systems security – Guaranteeing risk control

Changes in the way we work have led to a fantastic evolution in means of communication and information exchange. Our use of computers is constant, and our dependence on connection to information systems is growing all the time. At the same time, we are witnessing worrying parasitic phenomena in this new exchange space; the opening up of the Internet to all modes of communication, whether private or public, is generating new threats.

Information systems need to be protected so that data can be freely communicated, stored and processed.

Our times are marked by a paradox: risks are multiplying, and we would like to ignore them; worse, we do not tolerate the consequences of our unforeseen events.

Increasingly miniaturized, disseminated and individualized, IT and telecommunications systems are exposed to threats from people, organization, procedures and devices, through errors, breakdowns, accidents and, above all, malicious intent.

Technical constraints fade away; services take precedence over infrastructure. The network is now "virtual" and global, and the customer is once again active.

Cybercrime has become one of the major scourges of our economies. IT security is a major objective for our companies.
