INTRODUCTION
Cyber risk can arise from human error (unintentional downloading of malware, for example) or accident. Protecting against cyber risk is no longer a choice, but an obligation for today's economic players. It's a fundamental challenge.
Whatever their size, companies need to safeguard their know-how, skills and, above all, their so-called personal data (DCP) and sensitive data (DCS), particularly in the face of malicious attacks with potentially devastating consequences. In addition to human error, malicious attacks can also include deliberate malicious acts, such as hacker attacks using software that installs a virus (malware), attempts to steal confidential information by posing as an authority (phishing), the interception of communications (eavesdropping, monitoring, viewing, reading or recording, by any means, as it passes over a telecommunications network without the knowledge of the person making or receiving the communication), the exploitation of software flaws, not to mention ransomware.
