Opening of the 24th edition of the Cybersecurity Forum

The Assises began today in Monaco with an introduction by its Director, Maria Iacono, followed by a speech from the Minister of State, Didier Guillaume, and interventions from Philip Reitinger, President and CEO of Global Cyber Alliance, Vincent Strubel, Director General of ANSSI, and Paul Lemesle, Information Systems Security Officer of the Lactalis Group, Honorary President of the 2024 Assises.

This key event for digital security stakeholders brings together nearly 3,300 participants and 180 partners, including startups, SMEs, and large industrial groups from France, Europe, North America, the Middle East, and Asia, some of which operate in the Principality.

With a dedicated space among professionals, the Monaco Cyber Security Initiative allows the Monégasque Agency for Digital Security (AMSN) to gather at the Assises the leaders contributing to the digital security of the region, specializing in consulting, services, and support for government entities, operators of vital importance (OIV), and companies needing to integrate cybersecurity into their digital transition projects.

During his speech, the Minister of State stated: “In this uncertain environment, claiming that we must ‘strengthen the security of information systems’ might seem like stating the obvious. However, the numerous incidents recorded over the past year require that public authorities remind business leaders, service providers, or public institutions handling personal, and sometimes sensitive, data of their obligations, while also offering solutions to support them.”
