The program

Cybersecurity has gone from being an essential and necessary element of business value, to becoming an essential component of transformation. So that the CISO can effectively carry out this new mission over the coming years, what initiatives need to be considered, what strategy needs to be put in place, what challenges need to be faced, what budgetary model needs to be built, and what relationship needs to be established with management?

How the cyber organization is changing

Technological disruptions (AI, automation, cloud, 5G) and the boom in mergers and acquisitions are reshaping industrial models, imposing complex reorganizations. Yet these transformations are multiplying cyber risks: more complex infrastructures, heterogeneous integrations, new vulnerabilities.

How can the CISO secure these periods of transition? What levers should be activated to manage risks, ensure compliance and maintain an optimal level of protection? This panel will explore strategies and best practices to help CISOs assert their role as pillars of organizational resilience.

The fight against fraud and data protection is facing growing challenges. On the one hand, cybercrime is using increasingly sophisticated technologies, such as AI and deepfakes, and on the other, regulation around data and information systems is becoming ever more complex. This phenomenon is taking place in a geopolitical context marked by the deregulation of major digital platforms.

Companies must now invest not only in advanced technological solutions to secure their information systems, but also adopt a proactive approach to data governance, adapted to this constantly evolving context.

This commission will analyze the panorama of threats emanating from organized criminal groups, scrutinize legal and geopolitical developments, and provide participants with avenues for strengthening and adjusting their cybersecurity strategy in the face of these challenges.

In a digital world where technologies and systems are deeply interconnected, a security breach in one company or sector can quickly have consequences for many others, whether customers, partners or even entire sectors.

In this context, cybersecurity solidarity becomes not only a strategic approach, but a real necessity in the face of increasingly complex and interconnected threats. Acting in solidarity helps to strengthen collective security, better manage crises, pool resources and ensure more effective protection against cyberattacks.

This commission will explore how cybersecurity, when treated as a collective effort involving partners, providers, businesses and governments, can lead to greater efficiency and resilience in the face of today's challenges.

How can an international group adjust its security strategies to effectively protect its interests and employees in an increasingly fragmented world, both politically and economically?

In this context, the security of an international group largely depends on its ability to cooperate with local and international partners.

This collaboration not only enables us to gain a better understanding of the political, economic and social dynamics specific to each region, but also to strengthen security arrangements in the face of specific threats, often unique to each local context. This collaborative approach is essential to anticipate risks, respond rapidly to crises and guarantee optimal security in an increasingly uncertain environment.

Raising awareness of cybersecurity is essential to strengthening defense against threats, but despite best efforts, it often fails to generate genuine commitment from employees, who remain the “weak link” in security.

To make employees truly accountable, a continuous, interactive awareness plan is needed, which simplifies complex concepts while using effective incentive and follow-up mechanisms. The aim is to integrate cybersecurity into the corporate culture, actively supporting it at the highest level, to make it a collective priority shared at all levels of the organization.
