12th Annual e-Crime & Cybersecurity Congress France

France: In the cross-hairs of the state-backed hacker

23rd March 2023 • The Westin Paris - Vendôme (Paris)

 

Nation-state attacks are now more dangerous than ever. To beat them cybersecurity has to change – and it’s little to do with technology.
 

From secrecy to transparency: how cybersecurity has to change

 

According to a recent study, 75% of French participants believed they had been targeted by a cyber-attack by an organization acting on behalf of a nation-state and 82% believed nation-states are working through cybercriminal groups to execute their cyber campaigns. They believe the main aim of these attacks is sabotage or disruption of their organizations’ operations but almost half had also seen attacks on personal data and IP, financial data and business process operations data.


When asked which factors make them particularly vulnerable to nation-state actors, French respondents identified a lack of collaboration between their sector and their national government (37%), a lack of cyber hygiene across their organizations (36%), the use of outdated security technologies (34%) and the cyber talent shortage (34%).


The fact that CISOs see collaboration with government as a key weak link in the security chain is interesting. France, along with other countries, has institutionalised cyber defence at state level and there is interaction between the public and private sectors. More interesting is what the CISOs did not say: the real issue in cybersecurity today is in disclosure, data sharing and collaboration between companies themselves.


Organisations are still extremely unwilling to disclose attacks and breaches; many refuse to talk in even general terms about the ways in which they implement cybersecurity, believing that somehow this “puts a target on their backs” (when attackers know their entire security stack within a few minutes of conducting reconnaissance and when everyone is already a target).

French respondents in this study were most resistant to share information about the data affected, the length of time their organization was exposed or the financial cost of the incident. They are not alone – other countries are not far behind.


But this lack of transparency is the core issue in cybersecurity today: without data sharing organizations cannot learn from their collective experiences; without accurate data on attacks, attack vectors and material impact it is impossible to build quantitative models to evaluate
cyber risk and accurately assign resources to that risk; without that data designing and pricing cyber-insurance is just a guessing game.


When asked whether national governments should do more to support organizations in defending them against nation-state cyber-attacks, including things like provision of real-time threat intel, 89% of British, German and French respondents agreed. But only 64% of French said they have or would proactively reach out to government.


So, how do we get organisations to collaborate better? How can companies find a way to share data anonymously but in enough detail to be valuable for the collective good? And if companies will not share voluntarily, then given the rise of nation-state attackers, will some kind of public-private collaboration have to be mandated simply for the defence of the nation?

 

The e-Crime & Cybersecurity Congress France will look at how new business models are stretching under-resourced security teams to the limit. Join our real-life case studies and in-depth technical sessions from the security and privacy teams at some of the world’s most admired brands.

  • Building better Cloud security

    • Migrating to the cloud is a priority. But, if not properly managed, cloud migrations result in extra complexity and risk.
    • So how can firms efficiently assess cloud readiness, plan and execute migrations and establish comprehensive cloud governance?
    • Can you help companies transition smoothly and securely to the Cloud?
  • Here comes real cybersecurity regulation

    • Data privacy is only a small part of the picture. 
    • Regulators are looking at operational resilience in key sectors like finance – securing the wholesale payments market is a priority and others will follow. They are looking at disclosure and fining the miscreants.
    • Can you help businesses comply with new regimes?
  • Can zero trust be done?

    • Zero Trust/ZTNA/SASE - they promise solutions to the key problems CISOs face today.
    • But how realistic are they? Do they take into account existing legacy technology, and the ways in which real companies actually do business day-to-day?
    • Can you explain how a real-world implementation works?
  • Are AI / ML solutions the answer?

    • If the practical realities of business nix conventional zero trust ideas, then what else?
    • Some say that AI and behavioural analysis are better suited to a world where perfect data
      and visibility are unavailable. But are they right?
    • And don’t these solutions only pick up problems after they have occurred?
  • Developing the next generation of security leaders

    • If cybersecurity is to change to meet the evolution of our digital world, then so must those who implement it.
    • CISOs cannot cling to an IT paradigm and companies must move away from hiring on false pretences (on budget and commitment) and firing at the first breach.
    • What does a next-gen CISO look like and are you one of them?
  • The pros and cons of managed services

    • If single point solutions and on-prem security are failing the business, what about the
    • alternatives?
    • What kinds of company need what kinds of third-party help, and where does that leave the in-house security team?
    • Do you have solutions that can help relieve the pressures on under-resourced CISOs?
