Airbus awarded 5 major cyber-surveillance contracts in France

Paris, January 27, 2020 – In 2019, Airbus CyberSecurity won five new contracts with major groups or organisations in the industrial, finance and institutional sectors, some of which are operators of essential services (OIV - Organismes d'Importance Vitale). These contracts concern the surveillance and protection of their information systems and networks from an Airbus CyberSecurity SOC (Security Operations Centre).

With these five new customers, about thirty large firms and organisations now rely on Airbus CyberSecurity France to monitor their IT infrastuctures.

In 2019, the National Cybersecurity Agency of France, ANSSI, qualified Airbus CyberSecurity's French SOC at PDIS (Prestataire de Détection d'Incidents de Sécurité - Security Incident Detection Service Provider) level. Located at Elancourt in the Paris area, the SOC handles more than 3 billion security events every day.

PDIS is the highest security level defined in the category of detection activities. This certification is relevant for French critical national infrastructure organisations identified as OIV, as they are required to monitor their critical information systems only with PDIS qualified services.

Airbus runs SOCs in France, UK, Germany and Spain, where it monitors its customers' digital infrastructure and ensures early detection, containment and remediation of security incidents 24/7.

    Vote du projet de budget 2021 des armées

    Le projet de budget 2021 des armées est examiné en séance publique ce vendredi 30 octobre à l'Assemblée nationale. A hauteur de 39,2 milliards d'euros, en hausse de 4,5%, ce projet de budget apparaît toujours comme une priorité nationale, relève Le Monde. Les crédits de 2021 sont destinés à «réparer» et «moderniser» la défense. Ils permettront notamment d'acquérir trois avions tankers multirôles supplémentaires (MRTT), d'admettre le nouveau sous-marin Suffren au service actif, d'accroître les moyens cyberoffensifs des armées, et d'acheter des missiles air-sol AASM dans le cadre de la reconstitution des stocks de munitions. Florence Parly confirme qu'un texte législatif sera émis pour procéder à l'actualisation de la Loi de Programmation Militaire d'ici à fin 2021.
