Critical infrastructure: Thales reaches new milestone in cybersecurity qualification process
Thales has completed the pilot phase of certification to the PDIS standard (security incident detection service provider) for its Cybersecurity Operations Centre at Élancourt near Paris. The company qualified as a PASSI information systems security auditor in March 2015, and is also in the process of completing PRIS qualification as a security incident response provider.
This latest milestone in the qualification process, regulated by France’s national agency for information system security (ANSSI), is a further endorsement of Thales’s comprehensive approach to cybersecurity. It underscores the company's ability to protect data at all phases in the data lifecycle — from prevention of cyberattacks to protection of digital infrastructure, malicious event detection and security incident response.
Thales has the expertise needed to meet the most stringent cybersecurity standards required by French and European legislation and has been a trusted partner of governments, critical infrastructure providers and enterprise customers for many years. The company offers all the solutions and support that customers need to meet the obligations of France’s 2014–19 defence spending plan, which requires critical infrastructure operators to implement robust cybersecurity measures, and Europe’s General Data Protection Regulation, which aims to provide better guarantees of data protection for EU citizens.
