Éric Laterrade s point of view, as Group CIO, on cyber security
With close to 21% of our sales happening online, we must be extremely vigilant and exacting. Our cyber security program in place since 2019 aims to protect our users identity, our data, and our services. It takes three forms: training and raising employee awareness, risk management and assessment procedures in each market, and the implementation of tools for the detection of cyber-attacks and correction. We have a permanent team, which is in charge of running the network of security managers in the various markets. The program is almost entirely in effect in all of our markets. With strong support from Group leadership and investors equal to the task, it provides Rexel with the tools necessary to continue to fight against the significant increase in cyber-attacks observed around the world. We are also rolling out a Security Management Information system as part of a certification process (ISO 27001), with awareness raising among all of our entities and our heads of security.
