On November 27th, Airbus Protect, a subsidiary of Airbus delivering expertise in cybersecurity, safety and sustainability, and Egis, a leading global consulting, construction engineering and operating firm across every aspect of transport, infrastructure and the built environment, signed a strategic cooperation agreement.

This partnership will enable both companies to deliver combined cutting-edge offerings for large industrial customers with critical processes, namely air transport, rail, power generation and the automotive industry in France, the European Union and the United Kingdom.

By joining complementary forces, Airbus Protect and Egis will leverage their respective expertise to deliver innovative solutions that go beyond conventional standards, ensuring enhanced protection and resilience for our clients at every level over the entire life cycle of a product.

On the Airbus Protect side, it confirms a strategy focusing on comprehensive risk management, enabling industries to easily find a reliable partner to tackle risks stemming both from simple, unintentional incidents or from complex, organised attacks.

On the Egis side, this partnership demonstrates a commitment to answering a strong market demand for an engineering approach that takes major risks into account early on, making sure that assets and infrastructure are always protected.

This is an important milestone for Egis as it is in line with our commitment to provide innovative, robust and secure solutions to our customers in critical infrastructure sectors. Together, we are ready to address the growing cyber security challenges and strengthen the safety and resilience of vital systems across Europe.
