YOU ARE EXPOSED ! GET READY TO TAKE BACK CONTROL

You believe you’re steering your digital tools? In reality, they collect, expose, and betray your strategic assets without your knowledge. Between the illusion of sovereignty, compromised digital twins, and AI-traceable writings, the enemy is no longer at your gates: it’s already inside.

🤖 Dear internet users and fellow Cyberdefenders,

Comrades of cyberspace, the battle is raging. Our information systems are surrounded, our data siphoned off, our infrastructures colonized by foreign digital powers. The question is no longer if you will be attacked, but when, how, and by whom.

In response, the High Command of Digital Defense (aka CESIN + Hexatrust) has launched the Cyber Panorama: a tactical mapping of 320 sovereign solutions. A 100% European technological arsenal, designed to help our companies regain control. A compass to escape the yoke of proprietary solutions and restore the strategic security of our digital front lines.

Meanwhile, a stealthy threat advances in silence: digital twins. Marketed as industrial optimization tools, they are in fact backdoors in the hands of cyber saboteurs and spies. Every corrupted bit can disrupt a turbine, falsify a certification, or shut down a production line.

And finally, our counter-offensive sharpens: stylometry. Thanks to AI, our units can now identify the authors of ransom notes, phishing emails, or malicious propaganda… solely through their writing style. Even anonymous, they are no longer invisible.

Enlist for sovereignty!

Discover tomorrow’s technologies, analyze our operations reports, choose your side.

Together, we can secure our cyberspace.

1️⃣​ 320 sovereign solutions to regain control of our cybersecurity

Summary : CESIN and Hexatrust launch a Cyber Panorama bringing together 320 sovereign cybersecurity solutions, structured according to the NIST Framework. The goal: free companies from technological dependency on non-European giants. This cartographic radar, soon to be enhanced with an interactive interface, aims to guide CIOs, CISOs, and decision-makers in their choice of cloud, digital workplace, or operational security solutions, prioritizing French and European players. The project aligns with a strategic ambition: redirect 15% of IT investments toward Europe to strengthen sovereignty, resilience, and technological competitiveness.

Details :

  • Structuring based on the NIST Cybersecurity Framework : The radar is built around the six core NIST functions: Govern, Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover. Each solution is positioned within this matrix, facilitating integration into existing corporate security policies while speaking a standard language familiar to cyber professionals.

  • Absence of SIEM: a deliberate blind spot : Despite the panorama’s richness, SIEM solutions are missing. This gap highlights a strategic weakness in a critical detection domain, but also opens the door to local development momentum—and future opportunities for European vendors.

  • Exclusion of service providers, inclusion of trusted cloud : The radar focuses exclusively on technological solutions, excluding services. However, it includes essential infrastructure services such as trusted clouds and digital workplaces, now central to data protection strategies.

  • Interactive platform in preparation : A collaborative interface will soon allow vendors to update their data in real time. This dynamic ensures an up-to-date tool capable of reflecting rapid market evolution and meeting decision-makers’ expectations amid growing regulatory pressure.

  • Strategic objective: rebalancing a distorted market : With €690 billion in procurement and 500,000 potential jobs at stake, redirecting just 15% of digital spending toward European solutions represents a major industrial lever for France and the EU. This panorama becomes a strategic compass.

What should be remembered ?

The Cyber Panorama marks a turning point in Europe’s digital sovereignty effort. It provides companies with a clear, structured reference to break free from dependency on extra-European technologies. More than a tool, it is a political and strategic act of digital re-industrialization.

2️⃣ Digital twins: invisible flaws threatening industry

Summary : Digital twins—powerful tools for industrial optimization—also create unprecedented attack surfaces. Their operation relies on interconnected IoT sensors, SCADA systems, cloud platforms, and simulation algorithms. This hybrid architecture complicates security and exposes industrial environments to major cyber risks: data tampering, espionage, sabotage, or bias in critical validation processes. As these technologies spread across aerospace, energy, and automotive sectors, a new cyber-risk approach becomes urgent to secure digital transformation without sacrificing resilience.

Details :

  • Interconnection that enables attacks : The continuous link between the physical world and its virtual model introduces structural data dependency. If these data flows are altered, automated decisions can become flawed, leading to serious operational deviations without immediate detectable alerts.

  • Technological complexity and layered systems : Digital twins aggregate disparate systems: AI, edge computing, SCADA, simulation software. Each layer represents a potential compromise vector, particularly through interfaces rushed to meet time-to-market pressures.

  • OT segmentation undermined : Traditionally isolated, OT environments are now exposed through cloud connections and digital twin analytics platforms. This shift challenges decades of network segmentation designed to preserve the integrity of critical industrial systems.

  • Industrial espionage risks : A digital twin contains strategic information: manufacturing processes, mechanical structures, optimization logic. Accessing it provides malicious actors with a complete map of an organization’s industrial secrets.

  • Sabotage through injection or model manipulation : Subtle tampering with a twin can distort simulation results used to certify systems. In sectors such as nuclear or aerospace, the consequences can be catastrophic if faulty components are approved based on compromised simulations.

What should be remembered ?

Digital twins are not merely optimization tools—they are critical cyber exposure vectors. As they become widespread, industrial cybersecurity strategies must integrate this new paradigm, combining technological resilience with intelligent segmentation.

3️⃣​ Stylometry : writing, the new weapon against cybercriminals

Summary : Stylometry—the science of writing style analysis—is becoming a strategic cybersecurity tool. It enables attribution of textual content to authors, even under pseudonyms, using AI. Applied in cases such as the Unabomber or by forensic linguistics experts, it identifies hackers through ransom notes, phishing messages, or code comments. As anonymity grows more sophisticated, stylometry reshapes attribution. Even better: it resists obfuscation techniques, because style is a cognitive fingerprint that is hard to conceal.

Details:

  • Linguistic biometrics hard to forge : Stylometry relies on unconscious cognitive markers: syntactic choices, lexical richness, sentence structure. This personal style, as unique as a fingerprint, cannot be hidden by simply changing vocabulary or digital identity.

  • Proven use in judicial cases: From the “corbeau” case of little Grégory to Tariq Ramadan and the Unabomber, stylometry has helped identify authors with sufficient certainty to influence criminal proceedings. Its effectiveness is proven.

  • Detecting APT groups via ransom notes: Cyber analysts now use stylometry to link texts to threat groups. Extortion notes, internal guides, or phishing messages can reveal a textual signature, even without exploitable technical traces.

  • Generative AI: a false threat to stylometry: Rather than making analysis obsolete, generative AI actually helps detect artificially produced texts through statistical regularities and identify hybrid styles combining human and machine input.

  • Multi-alias behavioral attribution: Stylometry can now link multiple aliases on dark web forums, even without metadata. It has become a core component of behavioral threat intelligence.

What should be remembered ?

Stylometry redefines the rules of digital anonymity. It provides autonomous attribution based on writing style—hard for cybercriminals to counter. Its integration into modern cyber strategies is becoming inevitable.

Agentic AI: the intelligent copilot of modern SOCs is already here

Faced with an explosion in alert volumes, Transurban, a road infrastructure operator, turned to agentic AI to regain control of its cyber defense. Presented at the Black Hat Middle East conference, this strategy relies on two agents based on Anthropic’s Claude, integrated with Splunk SIEM and ServiceNow.

These agents do not replace analysts but automate triage, verification, and incident categorization while adhering to internal playbooks. The result: a 60% reduction in triage time, 100% coverage, and an error rate below 3%.

A strategic breakthrough for a SOC responsible for the resilience of critical systems directly impacting road safety. The goal: fully automate the MTTD/MTTR chain and embed AI at the core of cyber operations. A reference model for CISOs as autonomous SOCs rise by 2027.
