ACTIVITY REPORTCYBERSECURITY

The year has been marked by actions with a focus on two main themes: artificial intelligence and its uses in industry and cybersecurity. The increasing digitalization of companies enables them to leverage their data using AI algorithms, however this also exposes companies to potentially very damaging cyberattacks. Hence, alongside actions aimed at helping companies to digitalize, the sector, the Government and the local authorities have set up schemes and resources to contain and prevent these attacks.

THE ACHIEVEMENTS

The Cluster is involved in two EDIH (European Digital Innovation Hub) projects in Nouvelle Aquitaine (Dinhamic) and Occitanie (Occitania). These European projects enable SMEs and Medium-sized companies to carry out a free digital maturity assessment and to use these services to advance.

The Cluster organized 7 webinars dedicated to the Dinahmic action and launched the OccitanIA initiative (the two EDIH have been staggered by one year).

28/04/2023 : Dinahmic Webinar « Cybersecurity and human factors ».
24/05/2023 : Dinahmic Webinar: « Generative AI, new contents, new problems ».
22/06/2023 : Dinahmic Webinar: « Trusting ChatGPT to do what ? ».
10/07/2023 : Dinahmic Webinar: « AI applied to quality control of production systems».
23/11/2023 : Dinahmic webinar: « Public funding for AI projects and robotics»
19/01/2024 : Dinahmic webinar: « AI for production lines ».
19/03/2024 : Dinahmic webinar: « Spectral information as a source of innovation for the digital transition.”
Concerning OccitanIA, the action involved a launch on 21/11/2023 for the webinar organized by the Cluster.

The digital transition also makes it possible to acquire new tools such as Digital Twins whose interest in terms of productivity and competitiveness were debated and demonstrated during one of the technical workshops at Forum 2023.

Finally in the cybersecurity field, the end of the period was devoted to developing an information and awareness plan for SME and Medium-sized company members. In fact, according to INSEE, only 50% of companies are aware of cybersecurity issues facing the aerospace industry. A series of webinars were proposed inspiring us to offer our members a “Cyber Village” at the next Forum 2024. Webinars focused on the requirements and testimonials of prime contractors, and regional and private contingency schemes in the event of an attack and standards.
