🚨 Wavestone's 2024 cyber benchmark is out! 🚨 This year reveals slow progress in cyber maturity (not that surprising!). A few takeaways: 1️⃣ Overall Maturity: Large corporations achieved a #53% maturity score, up just #1% from 2023, indicating sluggish advancement. 2️⃣ Key Improvements: #CloudSecurity (up by 5%, showing significant efforts in this domain) and #DataSecurity (up by 4%, indeed we see more significant programs in this area). 3️⃣ Critical Weaknesses: #ThirdPartySecurity (stagnant at 48.9%, highlighting how complex it is...), and #IndustrialSystemsSecurity (39.9%, underscoring the need for better protection—less justifiable in my opinion! It needs to change fast). 4️⃣ Geopolitical Context: With the current worldwide situation and the upcoming #OlympicGames, businesses face a high level of threats. 5️⃣ Regulatory Impact: Never-ending, it keeps proliferating everywhere. More specifically, the #NIS2 directive will require substantial investments to meet new security standards.

📢Traditional #disasterrecovery is not sufficient in a #cybercrisis. Key things: 🗝️ Organisations need to establish a #rebuild capability - specifically, rebuild planning and testing 🗝️ Firms need to assess and cyber-proof their backup and recovery fundamentals. For example, ensure to have #cleanrooms, #infrastructure on stand-by for rebuild... They are pre-requisites for the rebuild capability and #cyberresponse! 🚀Are You on the journey to Cyber Resilience? #wavestone #cyber #cyberresilience

In the world of M&A, companies are allocating more of their deal budgets toward seamless technology integration — and starting the planning process earlier than before. A study by Wavestone found roughly 50% of companies define their IT strategy during the due diligence phase. Planning for M&A IT integration is all about finding the right synergy. But you can’t know where you’re going if you don’t know where to start. That’s why Compugen Systems recommends starting with a thorough baseline assessment. This evaluation examines companies’ existing IT infrastructure, including hardware, software applications, networks and systems, and data centers, to identify strengths, weaknesses, inefficiencies, or redundancies. It also spots compatibility issues and key integration points. But that’s just the beginning. Want to see how we build an M&A IT Integration plan from start to finish?

Dear Network, We have seen many large size tech consulting firms in Europe, having to navigate a Decline in Consulting Demand over these previous months, battling with economic volatility and uncertainty, Shift in corporate cultures, and a focus on cost-cutting initiatives One piece of key news announced yesterday, is the French government has sent a letter of intent, offering to pay up to €1 billion for three key assets within ATOS, to keep them in national hands Atos says it needs some €1.7 billion in cash to support the company. It was reported that shares in Atos were up 17% in early trading following news of the government's interest figures are significantly higher than the one it reported earlier in the month It will certainly be interesting to see how this plans out over the course of 2024/25 #Tech #Consulting #Europe

Last week, Mistral, French AI startup, launched their first-ever code model - Codestral! 🚀 Codestral is an open-weight generative AI model explicitly designed for code generation tasks. It helps developers write and interact with code through a shared instruction and completion API endpoint. Key highlights about Codestral: 📝 Trained on a diverse dataset of over 80+ programming languages ⏱️ Saves developers time and effort by: - - Completing coding functions - - Writing tests - - Completing partial code using a fill-in-the-middle mechanism 🎯 Python capabilities evaluated across 4 benchmarks: - - HumanEval, MBPP (code generation) - - CruxEval (output prediction) - - RepoBench (Long-Range Repository-Level Code Completion) 💪 Evaluations indicate Codestral surpasses the capabilities of code generation models such as CodeLlama 70B and Deepseek Coder 33B. As more models and their better versions are released, it becomes interesting to see how they improve on these benchmarks. To enjoy this race of LLMs, know these benchmarks! 🚀 #Learning about language model and code generation benchmarks aids strategic decision-making on AI tool adoption, optimizing dev workflows, enhancing products, and maintaining a competitive edge.
