GEODE at La Fabrique Défense 2022

La Fabrique Défense
3 February 2022

The GEODE team was present at the second edition of La Fabrique Défense organised by the Ministry of Defence at the Grande Halle de la Villette.

Our researchers participated and organised the round table “Cyber defence in the European Union“, moderated by Frédérick Douzet, GEODE director, with the participation of Heli Tiirmaa-Klaar, director of the Digital Society Institute and Aude Géry, GEODE researcher.

Thanks to the tools developed in collaboration with Cassini, we were able to present the experience of walking through a graph of data from social networks, in virtual reality.

This event was an opportunity to reaffirm the support of GEODE and the French Institute of Geopolitics (IFG) for the Cadettes de la Cyber program led by the Pôle d’Excellence Cyber since November 2021.

Cloud defence: an operational challenge, a strategic imperative and a sovereignty issue

Cloud defence: an operational challenge, a strategic imperative and a sovereignty issue

Études de l'IFRI - Focus stratégique

The French Ministry of Defence has decided to make cloud computing one of the pillars of its digital transformation.

However, resorting to the cloud implies outsourcing part of the management of IT resources, which poses many challenges of a technical and cultural nature, but also political and industrial. In addition to the imperative of technological control, there are major strategic issues relating to autonomy and influence. Cloud Defence therefore depends as much on the ability of the armed forces to adapt the technology to their security and operational requirements, as on the industrial partnerships set up by the Ministry, and on national policies on the subject.
