🚨 Cyberattack on Microsoft: no one is untouchable 🚨 When even a tech giant like Microsoft falls victim to a sophisticated #phishing attack, it’s a stark reminder of an essential truth: cybersecurity is an ongoing battle, and no one is immune—especially in heightened geopolitical tensions. Hackers from Storm-237, a group linked to Russia, exploited a subtle flaw: bypassing authentication processes for restricted-input devices. With nothing more than a simple Microsoft Teams meeting invitation, they successfully stole authentication tokens, gaining prolonged access to Microsoft 365 accounts. 🔎 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡 𝐮𝐬? ✅ Phishing attacks are constantly evolving – even strong security measures like two-factor authentication (2FA) can be bypassed. ✅ Cybercriminals now target business messaging platforms (#WhatsApp, #Signal, Teams…) by impersonating trusted contacts. ✅ Companies must strengthen security protocols, including blocking authentication via authorization codes whenever possible. 👾 Want to hack cyberattacks and build a safer cloud?

🚀 Kicking off the week with AI insights from the #AISummit in Paris! Last week was intense, inspiring, and full of high-level discussions at the AI Action Week. Especially when Anthropic invited our CTPO Gilles Seghaier to their event for the AI summit. 🔥 One of the standout moments? Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, sharing his vision on AI innovation and governance—a perspective that deeply resonates with us at Astran. 💡 “𝐴𝐼 𝑖𝑠 𝑑𝑒𝑓𝑖𝑛𝑖𝑡𝑒𝑙𝑦 𝑎 𝑟𝑎𝑐𝑒. 𝐼𝑡’𝑠 𝑎 𝑟𝑎𝑐𝑒 𝑏𝑒𝑡𝑤𝑒𝑒𝑛 𝑚𝑎𝑘𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑚𝑜𝑑𝑒𝑙𝑠 𝑚𝑜𝑟𝑒 𝑝𝑜𝑤𝑒𝑟𝑓𝑢𝑙, 𝑤ℎ𝑖𝑐ℎ 𝑖𝑠 𝑖𝑛𝑐𝑟𝑒𝑑𝑖𝑏𝑙𝑦 𝑓𝑎𝑠𝑡 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑢𝑠 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑖𝑛𝑐𝑟𝑒𝑑𝑖𝑏𝑙𝑦 𝑓𝑎𝑠𝑡 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑜𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑟𝑠 — 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑐𝑎𝑛’𝑡 𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑦 𝑠𝑙𝑜𝑤 𝑑𝑜𝑤𝑛, 𝑟𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡? … 𝑂𝑢𝑟 𝑢𝑛𝑑𝑒𝑟𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑛𝑑𝑖𝑛𝑔 ℎ𝑎𝑠 𝑡𝑜 𝑘𝑒𝑒𝑝 𝑢𝑝 𝑤𝑖𝑡ℎ 𝑜𝑢𝑟 𝑎𝑏𝑖𝑙𝑖𝑡𝑦 𝑡𝑜 𝑏𝑢𝑖𝑙𝑑 𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑔𝑠. 𝐼 𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑘 𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑡’𝑠 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑜𝑛𝑙𝑦 𝑤𝑎𝑦.” Amodei’s approach challenges the usual opposition between safety and innovation. Instead, he sees AI safety as an opportunity—a mindset that aligns perfectly with our commitment to Operational Resilience. 💪 An inspiring way to start the week! Ready to shape the future?

#BreakingNews 📢 Hurray! France has become Western Europe's favorite country for #hackers. 🙌 The data of eight out of ten French citizens is circulating on black markets. As a result, #cyberattacks are expected to cost France more than $129 billion by 2024! There are records we could do without. Nowadays, no sector or company is spared. The list is long and growing. Among the biggest data leaks in 2024: ✅Healthcare providers, Viamedis and Almerys, telecom operators Free and SFR, #retail chains like Boulanger, Cultura, TRUFFAUT or Grosbill.com... ✅But also public service actors, including Caisse d'Allocations familiales (#CAF) and France Travail. More than ever, having real data security below your apps is a critical issue for user protection. Join us and contribute to building our distributed cloud platform, bringing the highest level of resilience and security for our customers data! 🔗Watch the list of the main cyberattacks in France in 2024: https://lnkd.in/eAtv5MxW #WeAreHiring #JoinUs #Cybersecurity

Back to Paris after a wonderful - and as expected freezing cold - week in #NYC! The past 3 days were way beyond expectations for Astran: 5 customers meetings, 3 investor meetings, 1 dinner with my dear Young Leader fellows. My watch says I exceeded all walking and running expectations, I went through Manhattan UES, midtown, soho and even took a train to New Heaven, Connecticut. All of this would not have been possible without the help of my successful friend Luigi whose company BforeAI just raised their series B. I am very grateful and impressed by the quality of his customers’ meetings! Stay tuned as next week in Paris is at least as exciting…

📢 Here are the 2025 New Year’s resolutions for tech by McKinsey & Company! And 2025 will be the year of resilience to tech disruptions! And not only in IT. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐫𝐞 𝐛𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐦𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐛𝐞 𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐡 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭, 𝐌𝐜𝐊𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐞𝐲 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐬. 📌As we step into 2025, McKinsey’s tech resolutions offer a complete roadmap for navigating a year likely to be defined by uncertainty and transformation. Among the 8 tech resolutions highlighted, the call to action for “Tech resiliency: Make the business—not just IT—resilient” is particularly striking, because it underscores a paradigm shift that is long overdue. In 2024, high-profile outages and devastating cyberattacks exposed a hard truth: 👉Resiliency cannot remain confined to IT.

It’s about ensuring the core of the business can adapt, recover, and thrive amidst disruptions, with the right tools and solutions to do so as soon as possible.
