Customer Success Story: CNES

How CNES optimises its risk analyses with the Airbus Protect Fence solution

Efficiency and simplicity are highly appreciated

Fence is an intuitive, easy-to-use solution that allows our twenty or so users to perform risk analyses on our 40 information systems. We also carry out sensitivity assessments, and our goal is to use Fence for our NIS2 compliance. Fence is easy to learn, especially with the associated training, and allows us to work quickly and efficiently. Even untrained users adapt to it very quickly, which is a real strength. It should be noted that the support team is responsive and available when needed. We also appreciate Fence's significant scalability, which allows us to adapt it to our operational needs.

Customer testimonial

For strategic organisations such as CNES (the French National Centre for Space Studies), cybersecurity management is a matter of sovereignty and performance. With a fleet of 40 critical information systems, the institution was looking for a solution that was both powerful and accessible, enabling its teams to conduct risk analyses independently, quickly and efficiently.

Customer needs: an intuitive solution for a complex challenge

The challenge for CNES was to find a tool capable of simplifying risk analyses without sacrificing rigour. The tool also had to be easily adopted by around 20 users with varying profiles. The objective was twofold: to strengthen the current cybersecurity posture and to prepare for compliance with future regulations, in particular the NIS2 directive.

Our solution: Fence, the cybersecurity risk analysis and management tool

The Fence solution from Airbus Protect simplifies the analysis and monitoring of cybersecurity risks using the EBIOS RM methodology. This flexible web application can be installed on infrastructure or in standalone mode on a workstation, even offline.

Thanks to its intuitive ergonomics and dedicated training, the CNES teams were able to get to grips with the solution very quickly. Fence now enables them to carry out their risk analyses, assess the sensitivity of their systems and work more collaboratively, while benefiting from Airbus Protect’s responsive customer support.

Customer benefits: time savings, autonomy and strategic vision

The adoption of Fence has enabled CNES to streamline and accelerate its risk management processes. Its ease of use, even for untrained users, is a major advantage, ensuring widespread adoption and immediate effectiveness. The solution’s scalability also ensures that CNES can adapt the tool to its future needs, particularly for NIS2 compliance.
