DATIVE in La Jaune et la Rouge: a recognition of our commitment to industrial cybersecurity
We are proud to have been recently featured in the magazine Le Jaune et la Rouge, a flagship publication of the Polytechnique alumni community. This article highlights our expertise in industrial cybersecurity within the Gérard Perrier Industrie Group (GPI) and our practical, field-based approach. This recognition reinforces our belief: securing OT is now a strategic priority for French industrial players.
Securing Industry Against Cyber Threats: A Challenge We Tackle Every Day
At DATIVE, we know that when it comes to cybersecurity, industrial environments cannot be treated the same as those in the IT world: machines, PLCs, SCADA, industrial protocols, availability constraints… all unique features that we master thanks to our industrial DNA. As a subsidiary of GPI, we were born in workshops, on production lines, at the heart of critical infrastructures.
Our role is clear: protect industrial systems from cyber threats while ensuring their proper functioning. This involves tailored solutions and close collaboration with field teams.
OT Cyber Expertise Driven by Fieldwork and Innovation
In the interview published by La Jaune et la Rouge, we had the opportunity to highlight what makes us unique: a dual operational and technological expertise, rooted in industrial realities.
- On one hand, we work directly with our clients to analyze OT architectures, identify vulnerabilities, and implement concrete cybersecurity measures: industrial network segmentation, device hardening, flow monitoring, strong authentication, ...
- On the other, we develop software solutions dedicated to optimizing industrial performance. And because these tools handle critical data, we design them with native security requirements, integrating best practices in OT cybersecurity from the development phase.
This holistic approach—industrial performance and security—enables us to meet the highest expectations, particularly in strategic and critical sectors such as energy, nuclear, aerospace, and defense.
Digital Sovereignty: A Key Component of Our Cybersecurity Solutions
One of the key points raised in the article is the issue of technological sovereignty, which is particularly sensitive for industrial players in strategic sectors.
We have chosen to use trusted cybersecurity solutions, paying close attention to the origin, intrinsic security, and compliance of the components we integrate into our architectures.
This positioning is made possible by our integration within the GPI Group, but also because we maintain active monitoring of vulnerabilities, emerging threats, and trusted tools.
Cybersecurity Tailored to Industrial Realities
Our clients do not all have the same maturity levels or constraints, which is why we don't believe in generic solutions.
Each intervention is customized, with a security level adapted to the specific needs of the site, equipment, and people. This approach allows us to operate both in poorly secured environments and in highly regulated ones (IEC 62443, ISO 27001, ...).
We also work closely with other GPI entities to natively integrate security into the industrial electronic equipment that the group designs and manufactures: a decisive advantage for our clients.
Recognition That Highlights the Commitment of Our Cyber Experts Team
This feature in La Jaune et la Rouge is not just an honor. It also reflects the daily work of our team, committed to a long-term effort to advance industrial cybersecurity in France.
Whether it’s about strengthening our clients’ security posture, training their teams, or anticipating regulatory changes (NIS2, LPM, ...), our mission remains the same: protect industrial environments without hindering operational performance.
