The French Domestic Intelligence Unit (DGSI) warned French companies operating internationally against the security risks that may be caused by the foreign software they use. According to news in the national media, the report published by DGSI stated that French companies ignored the dangers that could be caused by the software they use. The report noted that the applications that French companies operating internationally started to use to export their products could create security vulnerabilities in the online networks of these companies.
The report reminded that the applications used by company employees for communication and payment may also open the door to cyber attacks, and asked French companies to restrict the use of foreign software and prefer domestically produced applications. Additionally, the report stated that companies should strengthen their security practices against online threats. Recently, European governments, as well as companies, have been developing local applications to establish “data sovereignty” against the security vulnerability created by foreign messaging applications, and encouraging the use of these applications, especially by government officials and public officials.
