“Can defenders get ahead of attackers?”  

As well as positive progress, digital transformation also brings with it various security threats. A round-table discussion of the theme of “Can defenders get ahead of attackers?” highlighted the challenges we currently face in overcoming these threats.

Putting new procedures in place to slow down attackers, innovative investigation tools, monitoring, evaluating the success of current measures, recruiting experts, business logic, etc. These are all subjects that were addressed by the six experts that were present: Romain Françoise (CTO Sentryo), Olivier Bettan (Director of R&D in Cyber Security at Thales), Florent Kirchner (Director of the Security and Safety Laboratory for the software CEA List), Nicolas Loriot (Sr. Cyber Defense Expert at Airbus Defense and Space), Frédéric Cuppens (teacher-researcher in the Network Systems, Cybersecurity and Digital Law Department at l’IMT Atlantique) and Hervé Debar (Director of the Networks, Services and Telecommunications Department at Télécom SudParis).
