As the digital transition profoundly transforms management methods, infrastructures and local public services, local authorities are becoming prime targets for cyberattacks. Increasingly frequent, more sophisticated and sometimes devastating, these threats are no longer confined to disrupting the technical operation of information systems : they are disrupting the real lives of citizens and employees, undermining user confidence and calling into question the continuity of essential services.

Today, it's no longer just a question of protecting data or preventing intrusions, but of thinking in terms of the overall cyber-resilience of territories, integrating both the human and technical dimensions. How can we prepare for attacks that could deprive an entire city of electricity or drinking water ? How can we anticipate the psychological effects on teams, elected representatives and users ? How do you stay the course in an environment of permanent uncertainty ?

As in every year since 2018, this half-day conference, in partnership with the CSF (Comité Stratégique de filière des Industries de Sécurité), will bring together experts, elected officials, representatives of local authorities, the network of DPOs of major cities and metropolises, the Club de la Sécurité Numérique des Collectivités, and players from the public sector as well as the industrial sector, to discuss the cybersecurity challenges facing cities and territories, and identify concrete actions to be taken together. Feedback, round tables and keynotes will punctuate this session.

In addition to these testimonials, working meetings and discussion forums will be organized to encourage collaboration between all our partners.


Join us and take part in the debate !

THE PROGRAM

1.30 PM- 3.30 PM : Physical and psychological impacts of cyberattacks: what solutions ?


Behind every cyber incident, there are distraught employees, elected representatives under pressure, and disoriented users. This session will hear from crisis managers and local authorities who have been through the ordeal, as well as healthcare professionals. How can teams be prepared to deal with the human impact of a cyber attack? What support systems should be put in place ?

4 PM - 5.30 PM  Cyber-resilience of essential community services: when infrastructures are targets.


Water, energy, waste, transport,... these vital functions become vulnerable as they become increasingly interconnected. This session will look at lessons learned and the technical and organizational strategies implemented to ensure the resilience of these critical services.
