By 2031, a violent cyberattack will occur every 2 seconds, and the price for our businesses is only increasing - with a new record already set at 75 million dollars paid to an attacker for a single ransomware in August 2024 - adding to the operational losses of 56 million euros per week for each cyberattack. This summer, the Microsoft Crowdstrike outage paralyzed 8.5 million machines, representing swathes of the global economy. In response, French start-up Astran has teamed up with several major French and German companies to build an IT resilience solution (Airbus, Arkea, Eiffage, Sanofi, VINCI and Volkswagen). VINCI has already adopted the solution.
The Continuity Cloud, the single pane of glass of your Digital Resilience
Astran’s Continuity Cloud provides companies with a single pane of glass for their Digital Resilience. How? Astran helps companies identify their core operations and maintain them during crises ensuring business continuity, while at the same time it prioritizes and speeds up the IT disaster recovery processes.
Astran enables the heart of the company to continue functioning while its IT system is being rebuilt, thus drastically reducing the financial and image impact of IT crises. By doing that, Astran also enables companies to concentrate on what is essential to their success, and to refocus their investments over time.
Seeing the immediate benefits of such a solution, several major French and German companies have been contributing to the development of Astran's Continuity Cloud, including Airbus, Arkea, Eiffage, Sanofi, VINCI and Volkswagen.
VINCI adopts Astran's Continuity Cloud
VINCI, one of the world's leading concessions, energy and construction companies, has announced a partnership with Astran to equip its IT department, headed by Samir Hatim, and progressively its business lines.
"The solution offered by Astran allows us to focus on the essentials to meet our digital resilience needs—today, for accelerating recovery after an incident, and tomorrow, for ensuring business continuity" said Samir Hatim, VINCI Group CIO.
"This immediate adoption by a company with very high standards is the best proof of the absolute necessity of a solution to accelerate the digital resilience of our companies" declared Yosra Jarraya, Co-founder and CEO of Astran.
