The stakes: investing to ensure security
and competitiveness
The big question is how to use digital technology to boost business
competitiveness.
Digital risk should be considered according to the business strategy,
and digital security as a major part of the digital business
plan.
If we accept that secure data exchange is fundamental for
a company’s competitiveness, investing in the security of
IT systems becomes a true business priority.
The challenges: raising awareness
and managing data security
•
Raising awareness
:
in terms of security, businesses must work not
only on the technical aspects, but also on training, raising awareness,
and using information from collaborators on the risks linked to digital
technology and its usages.
•
Strengthening sovereignty
:
developing a French sector specialising
in digital security, with French expertise in security, microprocessors
and embedded computing; strengthening companies’ control over
security technology, more and more vital in today’s context of global
economic competition.
