The digital services sector
Your company is active in digital services, SaaS, online platforms and e-commerce. You have, manage or contribute to these services (consultancy, development, supplier of various services, etc.). You process (confidential) customer data.

Do you know your risks as a company in the manufacturing ecosystem?
- Fraud by (pretending to be) the CEO or FEO - Suppose you receive an email from your CEO or FEO containing an urgent request for a bank transfer. Would you be ready to doubt its validity? Cybercriminals pretend to be managers in order to encourage you to transfer funds.
- Your ideas, methods and processes are central to your competitive advantage. Cybercriminals attack these intellectual resources.
- Don't allow IT pirates to paralyse your production chain, for example following a ransomware attack.
- Your reputation: your most precious asset. Confidence is money, and cyber-vulnerability is costly inflation. The confidence of customers and relationships with partners are compromised.
- Your cybersecurity is as strong as the weakest link. In the complex network of supply chains, your vulnerability can become everyone's responsibility - and expose you to serious financial claims if you cannot deliver in time.
- The rise of home working and IoT devices is opening new frontiers for the effectiveness of the manufacturing sector - and for cybercriminals.
- The cost of a cyberattack goes beyond the immediate fraud or ransom demands. The consequences can exhaust resources and require considerable investments for the recovery and the renewal of defences.
- Regulatory penalties can be more than a slap on the wrist; they can knock you off your feet.
Do you know the risks as a company active in digital services (SaaS, digital platform)?
- Data protection breaches - Digital services companies often store customers’ sensitive data, which makes them preferred targets for data theft, which can entail significant financial and reputational damage.
- Phishing attacks - The employees and customers of digital platforms and
e-commerce can be victims of phishing scams, which leads to unauthorised access to accounts, to your social media pages, and to sensitive data. - Ransomware - This type of malware can stop you from accessing your own systems or encrypt precious data, by demanding a ransom to reestablish access.
-
DDOS attacks (distributed denial of service) - Excessive traffic can be sent to a company's digital platform, making it inoperative and causing interruptions of service and financial losses.
-
Cross-site scripting (XSS) - Attackers can inject malicious scripts into web pages consulted by users, which can lead to data theft or the diversion of user sessions.
-
"Zero-Day" type exploits - You can be vulnerable to attacks that exploit previously unknown vulnerabilities in the software or hardware, before the company has had a chance to apply a correction.
- SQL injection - Attackers can exploit vulnerabilities of the backend database of a website to access data or corrupt them, which is a serious risk for e-commerce websites.
- Internal threats - Employees or subcontractors with access to the company's systems can, intentionally or not, cause security holes, leading to data theft or system damage.
- Supply chain attacks - Attackers can target weak components of a company's supply chain, by accessing the company's systems and data through suppliers or third-party software
