Cassidian CyberSecurity joins Fondation Télécom as a strategic partner

On 5 November Cassidian CyberSecurity, a subsidiary of Cassidian (EADS Group) and Fondation Télécom signed a strategic partnership agreement. The cyber security specialist will participate in the development and support of Fondation Télécom’s programmes, thus taking an active part in fostering innovation and the training of cyber security experts at the Telecom schools incorporated in the Institut Mines-Télécom.
Under this three-year agreement, Cassidian CyberSecurity – which attaches particular importance to promoting higher education and to research into information and communication science and technology – will support general-interest programmes offered by Fondation Télécom with regard to training, research, innovation and long-term planning, by providing them with additional resources to assist the telecommunications schools in their long-term international development on a lasting basis.
As a key player in the market for the security of government IT networks, critical infrastructure and strategic industries, Cassidian CyberSecurity is actively committed to training tomorrow’s cyber security experts.

For Jean-Michel Orozco, CEO of Cassidian CyberSecurity: “It is important for our company to be at the centre of considerations concerning the future of digital society. This partnership with Fondation Télécom reflects our commitment to boosting innovation and training tomorrow’s managers to the highest level. Fondation Télécom’s desire to become a world leader in Information and Communication Technologies is fully in line with the dynamics that drive Cassidian CyberSecurity. It is therefore completely natural that we would want to join forces in tackling these challenges of technology.”

The partnership strengthens the links already established with the Mines-Télécom Institute and its higher education establishments via targeted actions: student internships at Cassidian CyberSecurity, a joint Cyberdefence laboratory for Télécom SudParis and Télécom Bretagne, Cassidian CyberSecurity engineering courses at Télécom Paris Tech and Eurecom, etc.
In the words of Fondation Télécom’s President Guy Roussel, “The advent of such a major security systems player as Cassidian CyberSecurity brings additional digital expertise to the Foundation’s pool of partners in this area of great strategic importance to our activities. It will further enrich the quality of the programmes offered by the Fondation, keeping our schools and research laboratories at the cutting edge of global competition.”
Just like Astrium of the EADS Group, Cassidian CyberSecurity is joining several commercial partners already involved in Fondation Télécom such as Alcatel-Lucent, BNP Paribas, France Télécom-Orange, Google, SFR, Accenture, Sopra, CDC, etc.
