International Tensions: How To Manage The Implementation Of Appropriate Cybersecurity Measures In Emergency Situations?

Ever since the Russian military began invading Ukraine, we have been anticipating possible cyber attack campaigns both on the battlefield and in NATO member countries. Vigilance and anticipation are therefore essential for our private companies and public organizations. We must be prepared to deal with the consequences of a potential cyber war that may transcend Ukrainian borders.

Whether it be massive cyber attacks aimed at causing as many victims as possible or targeted attacks on essential and critical infrastructures (vital operators, energy companies, healthcare organizations, etc.), we need to redefine the cybersecurity priorities and measures to be put in place in case we must adapt as quickly as possible to a cyberwar context. Despite the high level of awareness of cyber-risks in companies, there is an urgent need to ensure that good IT hygiene rules are applied, with effective measures that contribute fully to a cyber-resilience strategy.
