Cybersécurité pour les TPE/PME : le marché que vos clients attendent et que vous n’avez pas encore dans votre catalogue

Opérateurs télécom, ESN, intégrateurs : la cybersécurité est devenue un incontournable pour vos clients TPE/PME. Voici comment l’ajouter à votre offre sans repartir de zéro.

Par l’équipe IPSIP · Lecture : 5 min · Cybersécurité managée · Partenariat

En 2024, 60 % des cyberattaques visaient des entreprises de moins de 250 salariés. Pourtant, la majorité des TPE/PME naviguent encore sans aucune protection cyber structurée. Ce n’est pas un problème. C’est une fenêtre d’opportunité, et elle est grande ouverte.

Un marché immense, encore sous-équipé

La transformation numérique a mis les PME sur le radar des cybercriminels. Mais contrairement aux grandes entreprises, elles n’ont ni les équipes, ni les budgets, ni le temps pour déployer des solutions complexes. Résultat : elles achètent — ou n’achètent rien — là où elles ont déjà confiance. Chez leur opérateur, chez leur intégrateur : chez vous.

3,8M TPE/PME en France potentiellement concernées

72 % des incidents cyber restent non détectés plus de 6 mois

×4 hausse des attaques par ransomware sur les PME depuis 2021

Le problème des offres cyber existantes

Jusqu’ici, intégrer la cybersécurité à votre catalogue posait un vrai problème : les solutions du marché sont conçues pour les DSI de grandes entreprises. Elles sont complexes à déployer, coûteuses à maintenir, et demandent des compétences très spécialisées côté revendeur. Pas viable pour la majorité des opérateurs ou intégrateurs,pas viable.

« Vendre de la cyber, ça impliquait d’avoir une équipe SOC en interne, des certifications, des outils onéreux… C’était inaccessible pour nous. »

C’est précisément pour faire sauter ce verrou que such as FlexSecure360. a été conçue.

Cybersecurity

NIS2: Are you affected if you are a microbusiness or SME?

IPSIP – 2025

NIS2: What are the obligations for small and medium sized businesses?

The NIS2 directive (Network and Information Security) is a European regulation designed to strengthen cybersecurity across the EU. Since October 2024, all EU member states have been required to transpose this directive into national law. Once implemented through legislation and decrees, NIS2 will become fully enforceable. This directive targets both public and private organizations operating in sectors deemed essential or sensitive.

NIS2 replaces the original NIS directive adopted in 2016. It expands the scope of affected entities, introduces stricter security requirements, and increases regulatory oversight and penalties.

What is NIS2?

Background and evolution

In recent years, the European Union has faced a growing number of cyberattacks targeting critical infrastructure, businesses, and citizens.

The purpose of NIS2 is to strengthen business resilience in the face of evolving cyber threats. It sets out a series of obligations for entities operating in sectors considered critical to the functioning of our societies.

Key Objectives of the Directive:

Improve cybersecurity for essential entities
Harmonize security standards across all EU countries
Enhance incident management and limit the impact of cyberattacks
Increase reporting and notification requirements
Introduce stronger and more dissuasive sanctions

SMEs/SMBs affected by NIS2?

According to the directive, your company falls under the scope of NIS2 if it meets either of the following criteria:

More than 50 employees
Annual turnover or balance sheet total exceeding €10 million

However, eligibility is not based solely on company size. Your sector of activity and the criticality of the services you provide are equally important. While the original NIS directive focused mainly on large enterprises and critical infrastructure operators, NIS2 broadens its scope to include medium-sized businesses and, in some cases, even small businesses.

Important Exception: Some micro or small enterprises (fewer than 50 employees and under €10 million in annual turnover) may still be affected — if they operate in a critical sector (e.g., healthcare, water supply, energy, digital infrastructure, or managed IT services).

Test your eligibility directly on the official French government website: https://monespacenis2.cyber.gouv.fr/simulateur

What does it mean for you as an SME owner or executive?

Your exposure to risk is no different from large organizations. A cyberattack could result in severe financial loss, legal liability or irreversible damage to your operations and reputation.
Compliance with NIS2 is not optional. Failing to meet the directive’s requirements could lead to financial penalties or regulatory action.
Becoming compliant NIS2 also builds trust. Businesses that meet NIS2 standards are seen as more secure and reliable by clients, partners, and stakeholders.

What are the business implications?

Which sector are affected?

The NIS2 directive identifies 18 sensitive sectors, grouped into two main categories: “essential” sectors and “important” sectors.

Essential Sectors

Energy (electricity, gas, oil)
Transport (air, rail, road, maritime)
Healthcare (hospitals, clinics, labs)
Drinking water and wastewater management
Infrastructures numériques
Public administration
Aerospace and aeronautics

Important sectors

Postal and courier services
Waste management
Production and distribution of chemical substances
Food production and distribution
Manufacturing of specific products (e.g, medical devices, computers, electronics)
Research and development
Digital service providers (online platforms, cloud service providers, data centers, etc.)

Example of application: A small business with 35 employees offering cloud hosting services is considered an important entity and must comply with the NIS 2 directive, even if it does not meet the usual size thresholds.

What are the obligations for affected businesses?

Organizations targeted by the directive must undertake a comprehensive approach to securing their information systems. This involves assessing risks, implementing technical measures (such as network protection, regular backups, or strong authentication), and establishing organizational processes (such as an incident reporting plan within 24 to 72 hours). A dedicated cybersecurity officer must also be appointed.

It’s also essential to raise staff awareness: cybersecurity isn’t just about technology — it also depends on human behavior. Regular, tailored training for your teams can make a real difference in the event of an attack.

What are the penalties for non-compliance with NIS2?

Failing to comply with the NIS2 directive can lead to severe penalties. If cybersecurity requirements are not met, companies may face fines of up to €10 million or 2% of their global annual turnover — whichever is higher. These penalties are intended to encourage businesses to take cybersecurity seriously, as the consequences of a cyberattack can be far more damaging — both financially and reputationally.

Want to better understand cybersecurity? Let’s talk!

NIS2: Turning a compliance requirement into a competitive advantage

Every new regulation may feel like yet another constraint. However, the NIS2 directive shouldn't be seen as a burden — it can actually become a real driver of growth and differentiation. Implementing a cybersecurity strategy, even a basic one, is above all a way to protect yourself from very real threats. It also reassures your clients, partners, and service providers. In many cases, demonstrating compliance can become a selection criterion in calls for tender or during sensitive commercial negotiations. By adopting a proactive approach, business leaders send a strong signal: that of a modern, responsible company capable of securing data, ensuring service continuity, and meeting the market’s evolving expectations. Cybersecurity then becomes a competitive advantage and a pillar of trust for the future.

Best Practices to Get Ready!

If you’re a small or medium-sized business owner, your first step is to assess whether your organization is affected. As mentioned earlier, the French government provides an online test to quickly check your eligibility.

Adopt a pragmatic approach Start by assessing your current level of cybersecurity maturity. Identify the critical areas, implement simple measures (such as automatic backups, regular updates, or strong passwords), and draft an action plan. Finally, involve your team: even a small staff should understand the stakes and know how to respond in the event of an incident.

SMEs: How to comply without breaking the bank

You may think cybersecurity is only for large corporations with big budgets. That’s not true. Today, there are solutions designed specifically for smaller businesses — simple, affordable, and effective such as FlexSecure360..

Need support with your compliance?

We understand that you may lack the time or resources to assess and ensure your compliance. That’s why we offer a solution adapted to your company size and capabilities. We guide you from the audit stage to implementation, so you can become compliant without disrupting your business.

FlexSecure360 is a cybersecurity solution built for small and medium-sized businesses. It helps you strengthen your information systems, implement simple and effective security measures, and ensure compliance with the NIS2 directive — all without technical complexity.

Why take action now?

Companies must take the NIS2 directive seriously. Preparing now is essential to avoid penalties and protect against cyberattacks. With our FlexSecure360 cybersecurity solution, meeting the directive’s requirements is easier than ever.

Cybersecurity for small businesses and SMEs – CORO & IPSIP partnership

IPSIP – 2025

Why has IPSIP partnered with CORO o protect growing businesses?

In an increasingly interconnected digital world, cybersecurity is no longer a concern reserved for large corporations. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), often mistakenly seen as secondary targets, are facing growing threats. Their size and lack of a true cybersecurity culture make them easy prey for cyberattacks.

SMEs are the most vulnerable to cyberattacks. That’s why IPSIP is partnering with Coro to offer an innovative cybersecurity solution, specially designed for this type of business.

A 2025 Reality: SMEs are the primary targets of cyberattacks

The numbers speak for themselves: 60% of cyberattacks target businesses with fewer than 250 employees (source). The reason is simple — these organizations often lack the means to invest in robust cybersecurity solutions or build dedicated IT security teams.

The consequences, however, are severe: system downtime, data loss, business disruption, damage to reputation, and the often-devastating cost of a ransomware attack*. For SME leaders, cybersecurity has become a major concern — yet many don’t know where to start or which solution to choose.

That’s where Coro comes in.

*Ransomware attack: A ransomware attack locks your data and demands a ransom to restore access, potentially bringing your business to a standstill.

CORO : A Cybersecurity Solution Designed for Small and Medium-Sized Businesses

What sets this solution apart is its focus on the real needs of SMEs. Traditional offerings are often complex, expensive, and intended for expert IT teams. Coro takes the opposite approach: simplicity, modularity, and efficiency.

As an official Coro distributor, we offer you a unified platform that brings together all pillars of modern cybersecurity in one tool: endpoint protection, email security, access control, data monitoring, anomaly detection, cloud oversight... All within a clear interface that’s easy to use — even without technical skills.

A Modular, Scalable, and Transparent Offering

No two SMEs are alike. Some are just starting out, others are growing rapidly or expanding internationally.

That’s why Coro’s solution is fully modular: each business can activate only the features it needs, when it needs them.

A client can start with a basic setup: email and endpoint protection. Then, as the business evolves, it can add cloud monitoring, data leak protection, or even network security (firewall, VPN).

This approach has two major advantages:

Clear, fair pricing based on actual usage
A solution that scales with growth — no technical gaps, no sudden cost spikes

For SME leaders, this means the ability to invest gradually in cybersecurity while benefiting from strong protection right from the start.

Why IPSIP chose to partner with Coro?

At IPSIP, we’ve been experts in managed cybersecurity for over 15 years with our 24/7 SOC (Security Operations Center)..

We are ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II certified,two international standards guaranteeing the rigor and reliability of our security processes. Beyond certifications, our mission is to democratize cybersecurity, making it accessible and understandable to all businesses, regardless of size or resources.

When we explored Coro’s solution, we immediately saw its potential. It directly addresses the challenges we see every day among SMEs: the need for simplicity, agility, modularity — and above all — an unbeatable value for money.

Mapping sensitive data

IPSIP - March 2024

Mapping of Sensitive and Confidential Data.

Did you know? 53% of French companies feel ‘not very’ or ‘not at all’ prepared for a cyberattack. More than half do not have a formal IT security strategy in place.

In this article, we present a simple methodological approach to understanding, evaluating, and securing your company's vital information.
By following our advice, you will be able to:

Identify sensitive data of your company
Assess the risks involved
Implement an appropriate protection strategy
Minimise the risk of cyber attacks
Protect your reputation and your revenue

Panorama de la Data : Analyser pour mieux protéger

This first step involves compiling a comprehensive inventory of all the data you possess. This means identifying all the data stored by your company, regardless of the medium: servers, cloud, laptops, etc.

Please note that it is important to collect the most accurate information possible about each piece of data, such as:

The type of data.
Personal data, financial data, sensitive data, etc.

Data location.
Internal data storage, storage by a third-party service provider, etc.

The level of data criticality.
Importance of data for the company's business.

Persons with access to the data.
Persons assigned or not assigned to view, modify or delete the data.

Data hierarchy: Evaluate to prioritise

This overview of your data will now enable you to move on to the second step. You have analysed your existing data and know exactly what type of data your company has. You now need to prioritise your data according to its criticality.

To prioritise your data, you can ask yourself the following questions:

Is the data vital to the company's business?
Am I exposed to legal risks in the event of loss or theft of this data?
Could the loss of this data damage the company's reputation?
Could a data breach affect the trust of customers and partners?

This prioritisation will enable you to focus your efforts on the most at-risk data.

The threats you face: Understanding to prevent

When discussing risks, you need to be aware of the threats to which your data is exposed. Be as specific as possible, as this step is crucial in determining whether you are adequately equipped and identifying any potential shortcomings.

In most cases, sensitive data is exposed to numerous threats, including:

Data theft

Data theft, also known as data leakage or data breach, is the unauthorised acquisition of sensitive or confidential data.
Some examples:
Phishing: fraudulent emails/text messages encouraging users to disclose information or download malicious software.
SQL injection: exploiting vulnerabilities in websites to access databases.
Ransomware: encrypting data and demanding a ransom to unlock it.
Internal data leaks: disclosure of sensitive data by disgruntled or negligent employees.
Brute force attacks: use of tools to guess passwords and access accounts.
To protect yourself, you can use (non-exhaustive list): strong passwords, two-factor authentication, vigilance against suspicious emails/SMS messages, security software, software updates.

Data loss
Data loss is the temporary or permanent disappearance of digital information stored on a computer medium. It can be caused by computer failures, human error (accidental deletion of files, poor backup management, etc.) or malicious acts such as hacking, theft or espionage.

The consequences of data loss can be very significant: financial damage, damage to reputation, loss of productivity, legal risks, etc.

It is therefore necessary to put measures in place to prevent data loss and to be able to recover data in the event of a disaster.

Data corruption
Data corruption is the alteration or destruction of digital information stored on a computer medium. This can render the data inaccessible, unreadable or unusable.

Industrial espionage
Commercial espionage is the illegal acquisition of sensitive or confidential information from a competing company. This may include information about the company's products, services, customers, finances, strategies or technologies.

Implementing solutions to address these threats: Protect to reassure

Finally, once you have identified your sensitive data and understood the potential threats, it is time to implement appropriate security solutions.
Among the most effective solutions are cryptography to encrypt sensitive data, anonymisation to mask personal information, and regular audits to detect and correct vulnerabilities.
To give you an idea, IPSIP steps in to help you see things more clearly and support you in protecting your infrastructure at all levels. We offer a cybersecurity audit to help you better understand your digital environment.
As an example, below are some cybersecurity solutions you can integrate to protect yourself and understand what is happening on your network:

Firewall: your network's first line of defence against cyberattacks.

XDR: The solution to help businesses secure endpoints.

PAM/BASTION: Manage and protect privileged access by understanding who can access your data and how.

The NDR solution to detect threats and secure your networks.

The encryption key management solution to keep control over your data.

To sum up:

By understanding and assessing your sensitive data, and implementing appropriate security solutions, you can significantly reduce the risk of data breaches and strengthen customer trust and your relationship with your business partners.

Cybersecurity

The Encryption Solution to Prevent Anyone from Accessing Your Confidential Data.

IPSIP - March 2024

Today, it is more important than ever to protect information systems. We must comply with confidentiality standards and protect ourselves against cyberattacks, which can lead to massive data leaks or paralyse our information systems.
In this article, we will discuss one of the best practices to adopt right now: the encryption of confidential data.

How does this solution make data unreadable to ensure its confidentiality?

What is data encryption?

Data encryption involves scrambling data into a secret code that can only be unlocked with a unique digital key. There are two main methods of encryption:
– Symmetric encryption, in which messages are encrypted and decrypted using the same key. This is the oldest method of encryption. Evidence of its use can be found in Ancient Egypt.
– Asymmetric encryption, considered the most secure method because it is very difficult to corrupt, as explained below.
““Key management is a crucial process in the configuration of a cryptographic system, and becomes even more complex as the volume and distribution of data and the number of actors involved are significant.” – CNIL (French Data Protection Authority)

Public keys and private keys: what are they?

Asymmetric cryptography is based on a two-key model, a public key and a private key, often represented by a lock (public key), with the private key opening the lock. The public key is only used to encrypt the document, while the private key is used to decrypt it.
The owner of the private key can retrieve the public key to access their private data, but the reverse is impossible because the principle is based on complex mathematical operations.

Is data encryption alone sufficient to protect data?

Now that we know that data encryption is one of the essential practices for protecting the confidentiality of sensitive information, let's take a look at how bad behaviour can undermine its effectiveness.

How can you be sure that the ‘secrets’ are properly encrypted?

Secrets are a specific term in cybersecurity used to refer to sensitive data that must not be disclosed under any circumstances, as this could harm the company's business activities. Examples include passwords, API certificates and digital certificates.

One way to encrypt secrets is to use base64 encoding. This is an algorithm that converts text into a string of characters consisting of letters, numbers and symbols.
For example:
Password: 123456
Encoded in base64 : VGhpcyBpcyBhIhRlc482c2Q

However, this encoding is not a secure method because if someone has access to the base64 encryption code, using tools or software, they can decrypt the secret message and read it. It is therefore recommended to use a more robust algorithm such as asymmetric encryption, as discussed above.

The dangers of entrusting secret keys to third-party service providers.

When storing data in a public cloud, we use keys that are managed by default by the cloud provider. For example, you can use a virtual safe, known as a vault. Often provided by a cloud provider or external service provider, this safe is presented as a complementary solution. However, it is important to note the disadvantages of this method:

Who has access to your data ?
Are some accesses unauthorised?
Are data protection regulations being complied with?

Let's take Microsoft Azure as an example:

In November 2023, Microsoft revealed that a group of hackers known as Nobelium had targeted customers using Microsoft Azure.
Consequences of the attack:

Vol de données sensibles :
Les pirates ont pu accéder à des données sensibles stockées dans Azure, y compris des noms d’utilisateur, des mots de passe and jetons d’authentification.
Compromise of computer systems:
They were able to use the compromised accounts to access customers' computer systems and execute malicious commands.

Disruption of operations:
The attack caused service outages and significant slowdowns.

💡 Warning Leaving your encryption key on your desktop is a bad idea because it is accessible to everyone! If someone hacks into your computer, they can easily steal it.

How can encryption key security be strengthened?

Encryption key management is essential for the security of sensitive data. Not to mention compliance with privacy rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which must be taken into account in this management.
You can opt for an HSM (Hardware Security Module) device, which will allow us to store your cryptographic keys and thus protect our secrets against data leaks or malicious actions. HSM devices offer a high level of security for the protection of cryptographic keys. They are essential for applications that require maximum protection of sensitive data.
Here are some examples of how HSM devices can be used:

Data encryption to protect against unauthorised access, as we have seen
Digital signature for signing documents and transactions. This ensures the authenticity and integrity of data.
Required authentication of users and devices to protect IT systems.

You then have the option of purchasing a local HSM, which is usually physically protected, that you can deploy within your own infrastructure. However, this method is somewhat costly and requires complete and permanent internal control.
Otherwise, it is often more advantageous to use a Cloud HSM box provider. The HSM will be based on a cloud provided as a service, offering simplicity and agility at a cost tailored to your needs.

How does DuoKey innovate to secure encryption key management and strengthen your cybersecurity?

Are you wondering how to implement secure encryption key management practices and who to call on for help?
DuoKey is an innovative solution that allows you to manage your encryption keys securely, ensuring maximum data protection while complying with regulations and compliance rules (GDPR, HIPAA, etc.).

Specific features:

DuoKey offers a key management solution based on MPC (Multi-Party Computation) technology, a cryptographic method that allows the key to be split into several parts and stored in separate locations. The advantage of this method is that no HSM is required. A piece of the key can be stored in any cloud. Even if that cloud is hacked, no one will be able to do anything with a piece of the key.

Credits: DuoKey

DuoKey helps you manage your encryption keys securely and efficiently, whether you want to store your keys in a local HSM, an HSM cloud, or MPC (Multi-party Computation).
With a solution like DuoKey, you can take control of the confidentiality of your secret data. You will have complete control over access to your data as well as key storage.

Key takeaways

Protecting sensitive data in today's application environments is a complex but crucial task.

Encryption, although fundamental, requires a thoughtful approach and, to go further, consideration of implementing dual encryption solutions such as DuoKey. These offer additional protection while ensuring total control over your encryption keys.
Any methods chosen to ensure the security of your keys should be guided by your specific security needs.
Stay vigilant, adapt to technological developments, and make data security a constant priority. Your business, and your customers' trust, will be the direct beneficiaries.

Comment l’Intelligence Artificielle vient au secours de la cybersécurité ?

admin4696 — Wed, 08 Nov 2023 15:38:11 +0000

Cybersecurity

How is Artificial Intelligence helping cybersecurity?

It is now a reality that artificial intelligence has developed in many areas of our daily lives and economy. It is capable of processing and analysing large amounts of data in this era of exponential growth in Big Data.
In the field of information system security, the resurgence of attacks against corporate and institutional infrastructure means that new techniques must constantly be developed and implemented to protect data integrity and service continuity.

Domain name theft: what are the risks?

To protect themselves, companies must be able to analyse their data, identify attack patterns and detect anomalies in real time in order to ‘close the floodgates’ before their data is stolen.

The current situation:

Today, cybersecurity solutions used by businesses, such as antivirus, EDR and XDR, are mainly based on detecting existing threats.
What are the limitations of these solutions? For example, when a malicious domain name is detected, it is highly likely that information systems have already been targeted by attacks and infected.

AI to the rescue of cybersecurity

Thanks to artificial intelligence and predictive analytics, disruptive solutions do more than just tell you where cybercriminals have attempted to attack. These solutions show you their next target and reveal your weak points. This will make it easier to take decisions about protecting your infrastructure.

Bfore.ai, the only predictive security solution for malicious domains

Seven years of research and development have led to the PRECRIME solution and resulted in four patents being filed by Bfore.ai.

The algorithms designed by Bfore.ai use Artificial Intelligence to identify malicious domain names by taking into account more than 1.7 million IOCs (Indicators of Compromise). Processing these indicators via AI makes it possible to define a danger score associated with a domain name.
Bfore.ai now enables any organisation to identify and block domain names predicted to be malicious up to several months in advance. To date, more than 6 million instances of malicious behaviour have been identified. The innovation offered by this new type of protection lies in the speed with which malicious domain names can be identified.
Unlike other cybersecurity solutions that focus on studying threats themselves (malware, viruses, ransomware, etc.), Bfore.ai solutions analyse domain names in an agnostic manner. They study changes in behaviour in the infrastructure surrounding the domain name (DNS information, IP addresses, SSL certificates, etc.) from the moment it is created. Even if no attack has been launched yet, bfore.ai users are able to protect themselves against it.
Virus Total, the largest cybersecurity solution referencing system (owned by Google), identifies Bfore.ai as the fastest solution on the market for recognising malicious domain names.

Predict the next cyberattack

In summary, with a few key figures

Seven years of research and development have led to the PRECRIME solution from Bfore.ai and resulted in 4 patents being filed by Bfore.ai.

500,000 domain names analysed per day. These domain names are fed into the BFORE.AI model and identified as malicious or benign. Precrime uses indicators (IOCs – indicators of compromise) and then assigns a score to each domain name.

On average, 30,000 malicious domains are identified every day. These domain names are used by cybercriminals to carry out cyberattacks on businesses: phishing, DDoS, ransomware, botnets, etc. Identifying these threats in advance gives businesses a superpower that allows them to protect themselves against them.

<0.05% false positive rate. Bfore.IA's Precrime system predicts malicious domain names with high accuracy. Out of 10,000 predicted malicious domain names, only 5 are not malicious, with 9,995 posing a threat to your information system. Artificial intelligence makes it possible to refine the identification process. In fact, the false positive rate has dropped from 5% to 0.05% in just one year.

Up to 4 months ahead of other solutions. Bfore.ai's predictions have a considerable advantage. Domain names are identified as malicious well before the cyberattack is carried out. As a result, Bfore.AI ranks first in VirusTotal's rankings in this area.

How did Bfore.ai's solutions save Signify?

Signify, formerly Philips Lighting, one of the world's leading lamp manufacturers, has decided to entrust part of its cybersecurity to Bfore.ai. Despite the fact that the company had a highly advanced cybersecurity system (using three market-leading brand protection solutions), Signify continued to be the target of cyberattacks.
Thanks to Bfore.ai, Signify was able to identify 60% more cyber threats up to four months in advance compared to existing solutions, thereby preventing a ransomware attack estimated by Signify to be worth over €30 million.
Today, Signify, like 92% of companies that have tested Bfore.ai's technology, has decided to adopt Bfore.ai's solutions to predict cyberattacks in advance and strengthen the cybersecurity of their infrastructure.
