Combining the expertise and skills of the teams of the internal IT department and formerly Cristal Concept, Scutum Cyberdefense, economically autonomous entity, will pool resources, meet the needs of Scutum IT 2020 in an optimal way while developing its own commercial activity. This new team of 20 people, based in Annecy, Rungis, and Toulouse, will address the needs of the Scutum Group and its subsidiaries in Great Britain, Germany, and Benelux. The entity’s mission is to develop the IT and cybersecurity services marketed by Scutum Cyberdefense for our customers, as well as for other entities of the group, including Scutum France. Encouraging signs of cooperation between the cyber and electronic security teams on projects such as Eurenco, Crédit Agricole and Total validate this strategy. It will also deploy IT 2020, a hyper-connected, secure and resilient new IT architecture, integrating each of the active components of our internal and industrial information system. The deployment of phase 1 will be finalized in February in Rungis, followed by Germany in April and Rouen in July, allowing a France and Germany interconnection. Franck Pavero, who heads this entity, is accompanied on this project by Franck Lagarde Mermet for the business aspects, Alexandre Litaudon for the technical aspects and Sylvain Beck for the application of the RGPD and the data protection consulting missions. Franck will work closely with the European team, which includes Alexander Gross in Germany, Matthew Hatchard in England and Bert De Vleeschouwer for Benelux. This new entity is one of the critical pillars of our strategic plan SCUTUM 2020 and will strengthen our position as an independent European leader in security and safety. We count on each one of you to facilitate the success of this new group entity. Franck Namy, Scutum Group CEO Franck Pavéro, Scutum Cyber Defense CEO
