News, analysis and advice to support your digital transformation


Why restarting your phone every day is crucial for your safety 🔐📱
Cyberattacks on smartphones are constantly increasing. A recent attack via WhatsApp allowed hackers to infiltrate devices using sophisticated spyware. This type of attack, known as a "clickless" attack, compromises a phone without the user needing to interact with a link or attachment. The threat is therefore invisible and very difficult to detect. 👉 What particularly interests me: 1️⃣ Applications like WhatsApp, often used without the knowledge of company IT departments,

✳️ As a leader, do you think your information system is ready to pass the cyber insurers' test? ✳️
It's a fact: today, if your IT system doesn't meet strict security criteria, you could simply be deemed "uninsurable for cyber risks." This raises two crucial questions: 1️⃣ What is the maturity level of your IT security? A cyber insurance application can become an unofficial audit of your system. Insurers require robust security measures before agreeing to cover risks. If you are uninsurable, it reveals weaknesses that can expose you to enormous risks. 2️⃣ Is your company re

🚨 AI is coming to all Office applications, but at what cost?
Microsoft announces the integration of Copilot AI into Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook, even for Microsoft 365 Personal and Family subscriptions. These tools promise to assist with document creation, data analysis, and email management. However, this new feature comes with a significant price increase. ❌ +43% for Microsoft 365 Personal ❌ +30% for Microsoft 365 Family 💡 My perspective as a CIO: A false good deal for SMEs.

Data redundancy: a false sense of security?
I am often told: "Our data is redundant, everything is under control!" But upon further investigation, I discovered that the backups are often... in the same building, or worse, in the building next door. This reminds me of the devastating fires in California. Even if your belongings are spread across several neighboring houses, what happens if the entire neighborhood goes up in smoke? Redundancy is essential, but its location is just as crucial. Protecting your data me

🚨 Instant transfers become free in France from today: a step forward, but beware of the risks!
Free access to instant transfers is excellent news for streamlining transactions and simplifying our daily lives. However, this ease of use can also open the door to significant risks of scams and cyberattacks. ❌ No recourse in case of fraud. Unlike traditional bank transfers, instant transfers are irreversible. Once the money is gone, it's impossible to reverse the transaction, even if you realize it was fraudulent. Scammers know this and exploit this vulnerability to act qu

🎯 Businesses open to the public: are you compliant with regulations regarding the use of your Wi-Fi?
If you offer Wi-Fi access to your customers, did you know that you are legally responsible for how it is used? In France, the Hadopi Law (Article L34-1 of the Postal and Electronic Communications Code) requires internet service providers, including companies offering public Wi-Fi, to retain users' connection data for one year. This obligation is further reinforced by European Regulation 2016/679 (GDPR), which mandates rigorous and secure management of personal data. ✅ A f

NIS2 Directive
🫸 Even in the field of cybersecurity, politics can slow down, or even hinder, regulatory progress such as the NIS2 directive. 🫷 France is struggling to transpose the European NIS2 directive into its national law, suffering a delay due to political blockages and governmental instability. This directive, although essential to strengthen the cybersecurity of companies and critical infrastructures, could affect more than 10,000 French organizations from 18 sectors of activi
