Corporate cybersecurity: a European priority. Training as a key lever.
Cyber security is a strategic issue for all organisations, whatever their size or sector, in France, Belgium, Switzerland and Luxembourg.
Cyberthreats are exploding and increasingly affecting VSES and SMES: without enhanced in-house skills, the risks of financial loss, business interruption or data compromise increase significantly.
Cyber threats on the rise in Europe
In 2024 and 2025, cyber pressure has intensified on European markets:
- In Belgium, the Centre for Cybersecurity Belgium (CCB) recorded almost 10 million suspicious messages reported in 2025, confirming that phishing remains the No. 1 threat (Source: Safeonweb / CWB, Dec. 2025).
- In France, near 350,000 attacks target SMEs each year (Source: Cyber-Jedha 2025 report). In 2024, notifications of data breaches to the CNIL jumped from 20 %underlining a tangible business risk (Source: CNIL / ANSSI).
- In Switzerland, the Federal Office for Cybersecurity (FOCS) saw the number of reports double to almost 63,000 incidents in 2024 (Source: Half-yearly report OFCS 2024/2).
- In Luxembourg, The Grand Duchy is under constant pressure with an average of 1,173 cyber attacks per week reported in 2024 (Source: Check Point Research / Delano).
The real cost of digital insecurity
- Financial impact: the annual social and economic cost of cybercrime in France is estimated at more than 100 billion euros (Source: Asterès study).
- Business survival: about 60% of SMEs victims of a major cyber attack file for bankruptcy within 18 months of the incident (Source: Consolidated data ANSSI / CNIL).
Human error: the number one vulnerability vector
The human factor is involved in approximately 60% of security breaches in 2025 (handling errors, phishing, or poor access management) (Source: Verizon DBIR 2025). Training is no longer just educational, it is the most cost-effective shield against phishing (73% of attack methods).
Regulatory compliance: NIS2, DORA and LPD
The legislative landscape now imposes strict standards to avoid heavy legal penalties:
- NIS2 Directive, the European Commission's new security policy: extending security obligations to thousands of entities in France, Belgium and Luxembourg.
- DORA regulations, the financial sector and its IT service providers (crucial in Luxembourg and France).
- Swiss Data Protection Act (DPA), the Swiss government's new Energy Efficiency Directive: tougher requirements for Swiss companies.
Training all employees in cyber security, a strategic imperative
- Any department has been spared: 1 untrained employee is enough to compromise the whole organisation.
- Targeted training boost the responsiveness of our teams, limit the financial impact and protect the company's reputation.
- They make it possible to establish a genuine safety culturerecommended by ANSSI and European bodies.
