KiwiBackup and the Gendarmerie join forces for cybersecurity

On the occasion of Cybermois 2025 (European Cybersecurity Month), KiwiBackup hosted an exclusive webinar with Warrant Officer Jérôme COPIN, Gendarmerie Cybersecurity Officer for the Haut-Rhin department.

A concrete and inspiring discussion to help CIOs, resellers, and IT professionals better understand threats and strengthen the protection of sensitive data.

Drawing on history to anticipate risks

What if the mistakes of the past could guide today's cybersecurity strategies?
The webinar revisited three iconic historical events:

  • The Library of Alexandria: the irreparable loss of knowledge, a symbol of the importance of backup.
  • The Enigma machine: the power of collaboration in the face of threats.
  • The failure of the Ariane 5 launcher: the consequences of an unanticipated technical error.

These stories show that no system is infallible. But a Zero Trust approach, combined with reliable, tested backup, makes it possible to ensure business continuity even in the event of an incident.

Constantly evolving cyber threats

Ransomware, man-in-the-middle, backdoor, and doxware attacks are multiplying and targeting organizations of all kinds.
Spyware, whaling campaigns, and denial-of-service attacks are reminders that a robust backup strategy is essential to limit losses and preserve trust.

“The question is not if an attack will happen, but when.” Jérôme Copin, Gendarmerie Cybersecurity Officer for the Haut-Rhin department.

Backup and DRP: pillars of resilience

Reliable backup and a disaster recovery plan (DRP) are the best safeguards against crises.
