What risks are companies exposed to?
Any company or organisation is vulnerable if it is connected to cyberspace. In a world of rapidly evolving technologies, cyber attacks are becoming increasingly sophisticated. The challenges are many, because the threat is real. It takes a variety of forms, from asset theft and espionage to production stoppages, embezzlement and industrial destabilisation, and is all the more diffuse for its heterogeneous origins. It can come from governments, professional hackers, competitors, disgruntled employees and so on.
Companies and organisations are becoming increasingly aware of the threat, and are looking to anticipate it rather than suffer from it. By the time the damage is done, it's too late! Guarding against risks means anticipating them. To do this, you need to deploy appropriate means of protection or be able to provide a graduated response. It also means complying with international standards and benchmarks.
This protection, which we provide, applies to the various environments used. It also covers access, resources and above all data, the company's main asset. We also manage the governance and management of information security risks, including the implementation of ISMS, SMCA, PCI-DSS and RGPD.
You're growing fast. What does this mean?
The firm's expertise and the variety of its service offering mean it can respond to any need. We recently opened a skills centre dedicated to the Cloud (Cloud Azur, AWS, Google). A leading firm in France, ACG Cybersecurity is developing its activities in Europe, as well as through partnerships in Africa and Asia. We're also working on a range of services for SMEs to help them enhance the skills and security of their information systems. Our team of expert pentesters has just returned from the FIC (International Cybersecurity Forum) in Lille, France, where they finished on the podium of the bug_bounty pentesting challenge. Our aim is to become a market leader by recruiting new high-calibre profiles to reach 100 employees by 2021 who share the company's values: competence, confidentiality, responsibility, trust, commitment and transparency.
