The pandemic and the risk of a second wave did not discourage the organizers of the Assises de la Sécurité 2020, which maintained the forum which is being held in Monaco from October 14 to 17.
Despite declining attendance, optimism was the order of the day in a market boosted by the crisis. An optimism recited in several ways in the opening speech delivered by Guillaume Poupard, Director General of ANSSI.
Thus, despite the growing threat, Guillaume Poupard noted some positive points and reasons for optimism for the future. He first pointed to the awareness of the need to integrate cybersecurity into the functioning and habits of companies and employees. “I have the feeling that we are finally coming to the end of the evangelization phase, not that we should not continue to explain things, it is a complex subject, but among the decision-makers of the Comex, ministers and the population, we have finally understood cybersecurity, ”he said. We are coming, according to him, to a kind of standardization where "we have finally understood how to make digital technology a positive experience".

The second positive remark expressed by the CEO of ANSSI is that ultimately being attacked is always a trauma of course, but it is no longer something to be ashamed of, it is also becoming normal. "We are in a situation where it becomes difficult to say 'I did not know'". Companies have understood that cybersecurity is an ongoing process: "you don't get rid of cybersecurity by writing a check," he recalled.
Another area in which cybersecurity has made progress in France is the awareness of the need to educate and train women and men in best practices. Unlike barrier gestures, safety gestures are learned through operational experience. They can thus become reflexes. " Train yourself ! ”He urged the audience, citing the guide published by ANSSI“ Organizing a cyber crisis management exercise ”.
Finally, Guillaume Poupard praised the work carried out by ANSSI around the qualification of service providers. “For those who are qualified, it is heavy, expensive and it takes time, he acknowledged, but today we are reaching maturity on PAMS (Secure Administration and Maintenance Providers). After a year of experimentation to adapt the qualification and finally be able to offer companies benchmark players, we will continue on this path and provide elements of a solution in a context that does not give rise to optimism ”he said. concluded by referring to the increase in attacks.
