New Video from @NoLimitSecu: Exploring the Clusif Cybersecurity Association
In this new video from No Limit Secu, the weekly French-language podcast dedicated to cybersecurity, guests discuss the Clusif, a professional association in the field of cybersecurity. Audil Dutil, Director of Cybersecurity for the Caisse des Dépôts Group and President of Clusif, and Jérôme Bilois, Administrator of Clusif and Partner at Wavestone, share their perspectives and experiences.
Clusif, which has existed for over 33 years, is a unique association. It brings together both users and industry players, such as solution providers, publishers, and consultants. This parity among members creates a link between those who need solutions and those who can build them. Clusif stands out for its role in the public interest, without defending particular interests. The association organizes thematic conferences, produces deliverables, and offers collaborative workspaces.
Jérôme Bilois describes one of the workspaces he co-leads, the cybercrime panorama. This group meets monthly to analyze trends and developments in cybercrime, whether state-sponsored, activist, or criminal. Each year in January, a conference reviews the trends of the previous year and projects future challenges. Another recent working group focuses on intrusion techniques and offensive security, allowing members to put themselves in the shoes of attackers to test the robustness of their information systems.
To join a workspace, it is generally necessary to be a member of Clusif. Members can send representatives to participate in the various working groups. In some cases, external experts may be invited if their expertise is deemed relevant. The deliverables produced by the working groups are initially reserved for members before being published and made accessible to all after a certain period, usually six months. However, exceptions can be made for urgent topics such as the security policy of AI-related information systems.
The next Clusif conference, scheduled for October 23, will address strategic dependencies and CISOs. With the evolution of geopolitical risks, companies must analyze their digital dependencies and navigate an increasingly multipolar world. This conference aims to shed light on these new challenges and share testimonials from cybersecurity managers facing these issues.
To become a member of Clusif, simply visit the association's website and follow the instructions in the membership section. An annual fee is required, linked to the company or structure. Clusif, recognized as a public utility, aims to scale cybersecurity at the national level by developing skill-based sponsorship projects and collaborating with other associations and communities.
In conclusion, Clusif offers a unique platform for cybersecurity professionals, fostering exchange and collaboration to address current and future challenges. Becoming a member allows access to these resources and contributes to the cybersecurity ecosystem in France.
