DATIVE & FORTINET at Lyon Cyber Expo 2025: OT cybersecurity, an industrial priority
On September 17 and 18, we will be participating in the Lyon Cyber Expo 2025 to defend a cause that is close to our hearts: industrial cybersecurity. Alongside us, FORTINET, a leading technology partner with whom we share the same ambition: to sustainably protect OT environments.
Securing your OT is becoming urgent
The evolution of industrial systems and their interconnection with IT are multiplying cyber risks: ransomware, industrial espionage, sabotage… These threats are ones we know well—we face them daily in the field, working with sensitive, critical, or exposed sites.
Today, the availability of production systems is threatened by increasingly sophisticated cyberattacks. At the same time, directives such as NIS2, IEC 62443 and ISO 27001 require a higher level of security. Faced with this regulatory and operational pressure, we support manufacturers with a response that is both pragmatic and tailored.
A field partnership with FORTINET for enhanced industrial cybersecurity
As a subsidiary of the Gérard Perrier Industrie Group, at DATIVE we benefit from deep knowledge of industrial environments. Our strength lies in being at the heart of automation, control systems, workshops, and factories.
By working with FORTINET, we combine this field expertise with robust technological solutions, capable of:
- Finely segmenting OT networks without impacting production
- Detecting abnormal behavior in real time
- Maintaining business continuity while strengthening security levels
This partnership is above all operational: it addresses the concrete constraints of industrial sites, far from generic IT-driven approaches.
Come meet us at booth E142
During the two days of the expo, our team will be available to discuss your challenges, constraints, and OT security projects. We will share:
- Concrete feedback from our on-site interventions
- Demonstrations of solutions adapted to industrial realities
- Regulatory insights to better anticipate upcoming obligations

Is your industry ready for the cybersecurity challenges of 2025?
We are convinced that industrial cybersecurity can no longer wait. In 2025, being vigilant will no longer be enough: you will need to be resilient, compliant, and above all, proactive.
But securing OT is not just about deploying technologies. It is also about working with field teams, knowing the environments, speaking the language of automation. This is our daily reality, and it is what we will be proud to showcase at the expo.

News
This article presents a comprehensive hardening strategy for obsolete workstations to strengthen your industrial cybersecurity. In industrial environments, we regularly encounter outdated systems (Windows 2000 SP4, XP, 7 or old Windows 10). These systems, although critical in industry, can no longer receive patches: license issues, PLC incompatibilities, or risk of production shutdown.
Industrial cybersecurity is no longer optional. With the rise of cyber threats, every industry must build an architecture adapted to its OT systems. An effective strategy relies on a detailed analysis of flows, assets, and risks. This article guides you in designing a robust, scalable, and standards-compliant industrial cybersecurity architecture for 2025.
Managing security vulnerabilities in industrial systems has become a key challenge — but one that’s rarely straightforward. With legacy equipment, unpatchable systems, and often incomplete inventories, field teams must navigate significant technical and operational constraints. While standards and frameworks provide valuable guidance, applying them in real industrial environments remains complex. This article explores the real-world obstacles and presents a pragmatic approach to effectively securing existing systems without disrupting operations.
Industrial cybersecurity attacks are no longer fiction or rare exceptions. From attempted poisoning to power outages, safety system overrides, and global ransomware paralysis, real-world OT attacks are on the rise. These incidents expose critical vulnerabilities in industrial environments and underscore a crucial reality: operational systems have become high-value strategic targets.
Cyber attacks on industrial infrastructures have increased dramatically in recent years. For example, 420 million attacks against critical infrastructures (energy, transport, telecoms) took place between January 2023 and January 2024. This trend can be explained by the emergence of new attack techniques and vulnerabilities in architectures. To remedy this, manufacturers are using trends and tools to help them protect their IoT networks.
