Cyber & Security Hub

Cyber & Security

Since cyber and security are boosting our economy, Systematic’s Cyber & Security Hub is committed to fostering the emergence of a dynamic and structuring an ecosystem which has both national and European scopes !

Cybersecurity is essential to the success of all companies’ digital transformation, whether they are large or small businesses. Indeed, it is impossible to launch this transformation without being able to face the increasing number of threats and global security issues. Keeping knowledge, patents and information intelligence protected is now clearly part of every company’s strategy.

The Hub’s objective is to federate the entire Cyber & Security ecosystem (start-ups, SMEs, academics, large groups, institutions, investors). It aims to promote excellence in the sector’s strategic issues at regional, national, European and international levels, as well as at the sectoral, inter-clustering and Cyber Act scales.

The Hub’s ambition is to carry a resolutely French cyber and security vision and promote the development of our companies to make our country one of the key players in cybersecurity, by taking all fields into account. These are the main fields in which our companies excel :
  • National sovereignty and defense
  • Economy and technology
  • Legal and regulatory aspects
  • Cyber-physical systems
  • Digital systems

Cyber and security issues are fundamental to the development of the industry, but deeper than that, to all economic, government and privacy sectors. Major trends (virtualization, IoT, drones, etc.), the digital economy, data-centric applications and the consumption of services that replace system ownership, require efforts to secure and/or use these trends in cyber and security. The Cyber & Security Hub’s roadmap integrates the securing of Deep Tech: AI, Distributed Ledger Technologies (including blockchain), 5G, IoT, cryptography, biometrics, quantum…and transforms technological excellence into economic and societal value creation.

Cyber and security are also real economic and societal challenges :

  • Improvement and promotion of training which is adapted to the needs of industry
  • Creation of a society that guarantees both individuals’ and companies’ rights
  • Development of digital autonomy and of the digital sector
  • Contributing into the development of a European digital sovereignty

To help in developing European sovereignty and digital autonomy, the Cyber & Security Hub is integrating the most disruptive dual technologies into its roadmap, in conjunction with the Defense Innovation Agency (AID being its french acronym) and the French Ministry of Armed Forces, which has been Systematic’s supervisory ministry since its creation in 2005.

The AID has joined the Cyber & Security Hub’s Steering Committee and is particularly engaged on key issues (incident response platform, advanced data encryption, better knowledge of threats, etc.).

Systematic collaborates with the AID on several programs, here are some examples :

  • “Honeypot and Synapse” challenges
  • Exchange of information on Defense roadmaps
  • I-Naval project: sourcing of the Systematic’s Defense SMEs for meetings with military contractors
  • Presentation of the EDIDP “Europe of Defense” project calls and sourcing within the Systematic’s ecosystem

  • Acting as an adviser in economic development, education/training and about platforms in both cyber and security sectors.
  • Maximizing collaborative R&D funding for the benefit of Deep Tech innovation in security
  • Proposing the implementation of innovative collaborative secure platforms to develop the services of the future
  • Publishing a Vision and Perspective 2025 document and developing a roadmap in line with it
  • Regularly animating the ecosystem, in particular thanks to an annual major event
  • Contributing to the development of the ecosystem’s security and training offers

Calls for hub projects

Systematic offers you a rigorous selection of current calls for projects

Building upon the foundations of edge computing, advanced 5G
connectivity, and decentralized processing, COP-PILOT aims to overcome fragmented infrastructure and isolated service domains by providing a unified platform for secure, automated, and intelligent management of resources and data. This approach is essential for delivering advanced, cross-sector applications and unlocking the full potential of real-time IoT and edge intelligence in areas such as energy, smart cities, agriculture, and manufacturing.

To validate its framework, COP-PILOT will conduct large-scale pilot programs in real-world environments across several European countries. These pilots will demonstrate the platform’s
impact on logistics, smart cities, sustainable energy grids, and agricultural transformation, highlighting how collaborative edge ecosystems can optimize supply chains, improve industrial efficiency, and deliver tangible societal benefit

CITADEL’s goal is to support innovation, networking and adoption of new processes and advanced technologies on the security value chain.
The digital and green transitions are important drivers in the security sector, offering both challenges and opportunities.
On one hand, the increasing digitalisation of critical infrastructures and services introduces new vulnerabilities to cyberattacks and to hybrid threats. On the other hand, digital technologies, such as
artificial intelligence (AI) and Internet of Things (IoT), provide powerful tools to improve security measures.
