European Cyber Security Month – raising awareness of digital security issues

European Cyber Security Month (ECSM) is an annual EU-wide awareness campaign run every year in October by the European Union Agency for Network and Information Security (ENISA) and coordinated in France by the French National Cyber Security Agency (ANSSI).

The aim of this campaign is to bring together several stakeholders to address the challenges raised by the digital transition. While this transition is a source of innovation and growth, it also creates risks for governments, companies and citizens, with the emergence of new flaws and vulnerabilities that are often exploited for malicious purposes.

This EU awareness campaign is now coming to an end, and the Institut Pasteur's Information Systems Department (DSI), which is particularly vigilant when it comes to cyber security, would like to share some of the initiatives that were conducted during the campaign:

The DSI would also like to take this opportunity to reiterate that its teams provide secure infrastructures designed to meet the criteria of availability, integrity and confidentiality. These systems are regularly updated and backed up. The Atlas storage system, in particular, provides robust data storage that cannot be offered for files saved locally on a workstation or laboratory server (Synology, QNAP), which do not have the same resilience mechanisms. This system guarantees data security via a threefold approach:

  • the use of backups,

  • a robust architecture which guarantees data even if disks are lost,

  • data replication on a secondary site, so that data is preserved even if a major incident occurs on the primary site.

We all have a part to play in cyber security!
