The Thales teams will soon be joined by teams coming from public
and private structures specializing in this field. Thales provides
Cyber Campus members with its collaborative platform in the cloud,
the first approved “Restricted Diffusion”, Cybels Hub, including
Cryptobox (document management and sharing) and Citadel Team
(screen sharing).
This project, which is a State initiative, is aligned with the
structuring programs of a French Security Industries Committee
dedicated to cybersecurity and IoT security, which works to instill
confidence in the digital sector. This sector is driven by a strong
dynamic of innovation and mobilizes skills in artificial
intelligence and cryptography as well as talents from various
sectors such as IT, telecoms, or defense.
This project is being implemented at a time when we are
witnessing an upsurge in cyberattacks around the world, on account
of the acceleration in digitalization of societies during the
health crisis. Administrations, companies of all sizes and
operators of vital importance are facing an explosion in the number
of attacks, which quadrupled between 2019 and 2020. Among some of
the recurring methods used are Ransomware and cyber espionage. The
professionalization of cybercriminals combined with their
imperative of profitability must now act as a wake-up call and
mobilize security players to contribute to the improved training of
future talents and the establishment of a robust ecosystem to fight
these threats.
"Thales was one of the first companies to believe in and support
this Campus Cyber project. We are very proud to welcome and host
one of the European leaders in cyber." Michel Van Den Berghe,
President of the Campus Cyber.
“Thales reaffirms its commitment to an international
cybersecurity center of excellence that can pool the know-how of
its experts and more successfully counter the proliferation of
threats. By becoming a part of this initiative, the Group’s teams
will help contribute to projects that raise awareness and provide
training on the challenges faced by cybersecurity, which our
society so desperately needs today.” Patrice Caine, Chairman and
CEO of Thales.
With more than 20 years of experience in cybersecurity, Thales
is a major supplier of services and systems that help consolidate
the sovereignty of its clients.
The Group oversees the cybersecurity of the critical information
systems of more than 130 major clients, in particular through its
six cybersecurity operational centers (COC) located around the
world (Canada, France, Hong Kong, Netherlands, United Kingdom,
Morocco), which guarantee that attacks are detected, analyzed and
responded to 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
The Group is currently recruiting more than 1,000 talents in the
field of cybersecurity to better arm itself and prepare for the
hybrid conflicts of tomorrow.
