Information and data security: a key challenge

The world’s increasing reliance on interconnected information systems has created new vulnerabilities, opening the door to coordinated and complex attacks, some of them carried out in just minutes. High-level expertise is needed to fight cybercrime effectively and counter the vast array of cyberthreats faced today. 

The figures speak for themselves: almost 200,000 cyberattacks are reported around the world every day. No one is completely safe.

To meet the extremely stringent security requirements of its customers, Thales has developed unrivalled expertise in cyber protection. From airlines and telecoms companies to essential operators, transport systems, banks and of course the defence sector, the information systems secured by Thales all share the same exacting cybersecurity requirements. 

Prevention, detection, response and operation

With its 1,500 cybersecurity experts, Thales provides proactive and needs-responsive protection for customer information systems in the most sensitive contexts. This includes security auditing and penetration testing by our teams of ethical hackers and Security Operations Centres for end-to-end supervision of critical information systems — currently used by more than 130 major customers with particularly rigorous security requirements. We also mobilise our Rapid Reaction Team in the event of an attack and install all the necessary encryption hardware to protect sensitive data and communications.

Nineteen of the world’s 20 largest banks and 9 of the 10 internet giants have entrusted their cybersecurity to Thales. Our solutions protect the sensitive networks of NATO and other organisations. Thales is also the global leader in HSMs (Hardware Security Modules), designed to generate, store and protect encryption keys.
