 Welcome to FEEK, Hadan Atoz CTO for security and Michael Runberg, CEO for Atoz North America to Dells navigating the road to cyber resilience. Welcome both of you. Good morning. Good morning Rob. And afternoon, as it may be for to FEEK. But you know, I think this has been a great event that we've been doing with Dell. And I think one of the things is bringing in the partners and really the excitement about understanding what's going on. And from your perspective, you're out there talking to tons of clients and customers every day about cyber resilience. And I think that is the key is to share a lot of those insights that you're taking in. But before we kind of dive into that, Michael, why don't you kind of give us an overview of who Atoz is and why is it relevant from a cyber resilience perspective? Yeah, certainly Rob. So Atoz is a global managed service provider. We've got about five and a half billion dollars of revenue. We're a significant player in the infrastructure space. That's our core competency. In terms of why cyber resiliency, cyber security is important to our clients, obviously it's it's every client I speak to today is talking about the security of their environment. So it's it's, you know, business critical. There's not a conversation I don't have that that topic comes up. And as you know, it's a it's a constant battle, right? It's an evolution in terms of the sophistication of cyber attacks and ransomware attacks. So we've got to evolve our capabilities to adjust and adapt to these the evolution of these types of attacks. So it's a constant, constant topic for the XCOM here at Atoz and as well, constant conversation we're having with our clients. No, that makes total sense. And I think that again, security is so top of mind, especially when it lands you in, you know, one of the major news outlets or something like that when something goes wrong. But I think a lot of people are sitting there going, okay, you know, that's great, but I'm looking for it to understand what the outcomes are and what can I expect. So to speak, why don't you kind of dive in as you deal with security on a day to day basis. And you know, really counseling a lot of your clients. What is it that they can expect from an outcome perspective when they're doing a cyber resilience project with Atoz? So if I may summarize the essence of collaborating with Atoz on a cyber resilience project, in a single sentence, it would be Atoz provide an adapted and effective solution that aligns with the unique context of the customer. So let me elaborate on what we mean by adapted and effective solution. First, we customize the solution to enhance the customer's security posture, leveraging our deep understanding of the saber traits. We align the solution with customer specific risk landscape, enhancing deer defense strategy by either using their existing saber security risk assessment or conducting new ones. Then we fine tune the solution to meet the customer unique needs addressing their distinct business goals, continuity plans, disaster recovery processes, and the IT environment. We ensure then that the solution integrates seamlessly with the customer technology, infrastructure, architecture, enabling them effectively to operate in a responsive of the dynamic nature of cyber regulatory ensuring outgoing or ongoing compliance. Additionally, we cater to the maturity of the customer. This is key. We provide our customer solutions that both modular and scalable. This is really important because we see in the market that all the customers are not running at the same speed. So this is getting possible because or thanks to our cutting-edge partner solutions. Ultimately, the effectiveness of our solution is evident post-project as it significantly enhanced security posture, mitigate a lot of residents' residual risks, and strengthen all other aspects of the customer's resilience. We make a huge difference between resilience and cyber resilience. Now, I think you hit on a really key topic is that everybody is in a different place in their journey from a cyber resilience perspective. From that, how do you really approach cyber resilience planning and implementation when clients could be in so many different places? Yeah, absolutely. At ATOS, our approach to cyber resilience is two-fold. Uncompassing both a robust methodology but as well adapting to each customer's unique needs. We use a standard methodology alongside a well-run approach, allowing to provide a phased strategy that helps businesses incrementally with their robust resilience strategy. First, our standard methodology involves several key steps, starting with assessment and planning phases or steps where we assess the client's current cybersecurity posture, identify critical assets, and understand specific threats. This phase includes defining the scope of cyber resilience plans, considering compliance requirements, recovery objective, business priorities, and processes. Let's give an example for a digital cyber recovery solution this would involve designing a secure data board for isolating and protecting critical data. Then comes the implementation step. Using digital cyber recovery as an example, this may involve setting up the data board and considering a replication for critical data, what's your example? After the implementation, we proceed generally to testing and validation steps, ensuring that our recovery and system functionality is okay and in event of a cyber incident. We train our employee IT staff and the customer employee on the new system and proceed in phasing their role in maintaining cyber resilience. And because cyber resilience require continuous management, regular reviews, trends, or simulations, and updates to respond to increasing and new trends that the organization changes, we continuously evaluate and improve the strategy and keep to stick with the needs of such systems. That is critical and I think you hit up on it. I know in France, for instance, and you're probably more aware of it than I am, they have that new banking law where the banks and any of those financial services, if they're using cloud, they have to be able to ensure and show that they can get back out of the cloud and operate those services within a certain period of time, which is I think critical and amazing. But beyond that, what are some of the other services that ATOS really helps their clients with in cyber resilience? So I would like just to add one topic before moving forward to other services. We have an approach that I explained just a few seconds before the crown war approach, which is an incremental way to a unsuitable way for preventing our investment, allowing organizations to adapt before fully committing to new directions. And the goal is a continuous improvement cycle, leveraging insight from real, from real incident response to refine the cyber resilience plan. And even to support this approach, we go create with them our customers, for our customers, a unique offering based on a shared and managed world hosted in our data centers, available now in France, in Spain, and soon in other geographies to start small and grow at their speed. Back to your question, ATOS provides with the help of its extensive ecosystem of partners, a wide range of services to support cyber resilience for customers, reflecting the increasing complexity of digital landscape. So we know that the attack surface of cyber threats has expanded significantly because of the transition to cloud computing, the widespread adoption of IoT, the rise of hybrid work environment, the increase in user of AI. So companies face increasing risk that can lead to loss of productivity, system downtime, substantial cost of recovery, and rebuilding to address all the challenges ATOS offer a modular service designed to deliver outcomes that respond to these threats. We provide consultancy services to help with the security strategy that aligns with the the cyber risk that our customers are facing. We recognize that data is a critical asset, ATOS ensures we can force by seven data protection that save guard information against threats and minimize downtime. We provide as well parametric security, in-depth security, all the security project that we can find in the spectrum of the NIST framework from identifying to to protecting and with our partners detecting and responding to let's say incidents and security incidents and potential intrusion and securing the data flow. We prioritize efficient and resilient operation ensuring that business can maintain continuously and quickly recover in case of cyber incidents. And thanks to our ecosystem of partner, we provide capability that may anticipate threats and optimize detection and response minimizing the impact of incidents and ensuring the the recoverability of their systems. Yeah, no, I think that's a perfect way to look at it. I love the whole crawl walk run, meet the customer where they are and having that full suite of cyber resilience and partners to go along with that is absolutely key. And I think that actually leads nicely into a question I got from Michael, which is why partner with Dell on cyber solutions and their strategy, how does this tie up with what you see as your strategy for your clients? Yeah, so that's a great question. I mean, it's it's pretty simple answer for me. There's a strategic partnership between Atos and Dell. There's a long standing relationship. So there's a tremendous amount of trust between the two firms. We've on many occasions aggregated the value from a partnership perspective to many different clients. So it's there's a lot of experience and proven, you know, delivery capability there between the two firms. I think relative to cybersecurity and cyber resiliency. It's a natural progression for us, right, because our business, as I mentioned to you is infrastructure services. So it's critically important that we maintain our clients environments and protect and defend their environment. So we do have core competency as Tafik has taken you through around cybersecurity and cyber resiliency. But as as I've mentioned, the the threats are evolving. It's a constant battle. And we need to find strategic partners that can enhance our ability to support, defend, and protect our clients environment. So with Dell's cyber resiliency, cybersecurity, the cyber fault that Tafik talked about, it's a natural complement to our abilities to enhance the security and protection that we that's required by our clients. So it's pretty easy. Yeah, no, and I think being a worldwide company and as Tafik was talking about bringing it where you can bring the cyber fault locally in the different geographic areas and really helping support all of those other regulations that go along that may not be necessarily cyber, but they may be PII and other GDPR type related things. So that's that's fantastic. Well, I want to say thank you to both you, Michael and Tafik for joining me today. It was a pleasure speaking with both of you. Thank you very much. I appreciate it. Thank you. We're going to roll along live in studio and on demand from our Palo Alto studios. You're watching Navigating the Road to Cyber Resilience, a summit bringing together practitioners, cyber experts, analysts, technologists to explore cybersecurity and resilience. Keep it right here.
