On Tuesday, September 15, Pascal Le Digol, general director of France-WatchGuard Technologies, Benoît Grunenwald, a cybersecurity expert at ESET, and Adrien Merveille, technical director of Check Point France, participated in a discussion on the program Tech&Co Business, hosted by Frédéric Simottel. The conversation focused on the first two years of the Cyber Resilient Act, a legislative initiative aimed at improving the security of digital systems and the resilience of critical infrastructure in the European Union. The experts evaluated the progress made in implementing the act and discussed its impact on the cybersecurity landscape. The discussion also covered the recent strengthening of ANSSI, France’s National Cybersecurity Agency, through the REACTIV program. This initiative is designed to enhance the agency’s capabilities in responding to cyber threats, improving incident management, and supporting the private sector in developing robust cybersecurity strategies. The participants highlighted the importance of such programs in maintaining national security in an increasingly digital world. In addition, the panel explored Microsoft’s latest developments in cybersecurity. The tech giant has been actively investing in advanced threat detection, artificial intelligence for security, and cloud-based solutions to help businesses protect their data and infrastructure. The experts noted that while Microsoft’s efforts are significant, they also emphasized the need for greater collaboration between the public and private sectors to effectively combat evolving cyber threats. The conversation also addressed concerns about the current approach of France and the European Union in handling data breaches. The panelists pointed out that while regulations exist, there is still room for improvement in terms of enforcement, transparency, and the speed of response to breaches. They called for a more proactive and unified strategy to ensure better protection of personal and corporate data across the region. Tech&Co Business can be viewed or listened to on BFM Business on Tuesdays.
