Econocom Group Security organized the first onsite meeting for the Econocom Security eXchange (SX) community

|

25 Security professionals from all Econocom countries and Group’IT Department met last February at the Hub-Paris. Working as a global team, building a fruitful working relationships and lasting trust were the objectives of this two-day meeting consisting of plenary sessions, workshops and team building.

.

Angel Benguigui, Executive Managing Director in charge of International and Sponsor for Security, presented the evolution of the group and its financial results. Among other highlights, two key allies of the SX community presented their respective strategies and challenges:

  • Danièle Lefur, Group DPO, for Data Protection;
  • Philippe Hemmings, Group CIO, for Group IT.

 

The SX community worked collectively, in smaller groups and all together, on topics that included:

  • Security base: the fundamentals to improve our security posture;
  • Crisis management: a collective approach to deal with major incidents and cyber crisis;
  • 2023 cyber priorities for entities: achievable and local goals that contribute to improve the overall security level.

 

A few key takeaways:

  • Security is a business investment: it protects the business and supports its growth ambitions;
  • At the heart of Econocom Security strategy: the Minimum Viable Security (MVS)
    • The MVS describes the security posture that requires the least effort but delivers the best ability to meet current and future security needs;
  • Within Econocom, the MVS model relies on three principles: good enough, demonstrable, and collective security posture.

 

Lastly, warm congratulations to all participants for their active engagement along these two intensive days, and for their genuine commitment to strengthening security at Econocom, as a major business enabler.
