More secure

What are the advantages of the Capgemini cybersecurity offer? Our ambition is to position ourselves as the world leader in cybersecurity services thanks to three advantages: the use of the latest technology, a high level of quality delivered using industrialized solutions, and finally, the worldwide adoption of security stan- dards to ensure that the cybersecurity of our clients is the same worldwide. As a service provider, we also have very detailed knowledge of cyberse- curity products. Our teams test them before they are released on the market to make sure they do what it says on the tin, so to speak.

Among our 2,500 cybersecurity spe- cialists, some are experts in defense, while others are specialized in intru- sion testing. This gives us a compre- hensive view of the risks and how to control them. Comprehensive, but also specific, because each situation is dif- ferent and requires a custom security policy. Knowing how to select priori- ties is essential. 80% of attacks come through applications, which is why we provide an industrialized, global pack- age for application security testing. In short, what we offer our clients are intelligent, end-to-end cybersecurity services. We advise them, provide them with protection and supervise

their security. Ultimately, this enables them to implement their digital transfor- mation projects with confidence.

What advice do you have for company leaders when it comes to assessing their company s security? First, ask if your company has tested the security of its applications and its information system. Then, whether it has a cybersecurity surveillance system to detect and respond to attacks, which is currently the case for less than 5% of companies. Finally, make sure your company carefully manages network administrators, as they play a sensitive and important role in security.

BERNARD BARBIER, technical director of Cybersecurity

Bernard Barbier previously Technical Director for the Directorate General for External Security (DGSE), part of the French Ministry of Defense is the technical director of Capgemini s cyber- security offering and is in charge of cybersecurity at Capgemini. For him, the Group faces the same threats as its clients, which helps to make Capgemini a cybersecurity expert.

Capgemini has to be flawless in the way it protects client data. In fact, our consultants handle strategic information. Our network administrators, who work for our clients, can have access to sensitive data stored on our servers. It is therefore important that clients trust us. For the Group, this is an import-

ant competitive edge and increasingly our clients want proof of our ability to protect data (ISO 2700x* certification). Therefore, the diagnosis and the remedies we apply to ourselves are the same as those we deploy for our clients. In terms of security standards, we have defined a high level of requirements for all our entities. The shoemaker must be well shod!

* The ISO 27000 family of standards covers the management of information security, notably financial data, intellectual property and information entrusted by third parties.

Capgemini applies to itself the diagnosis and the remedies it proposes to its clients.
