Pillar 3: Repositioning our BtoB activities and developing our cybersecurity operations 

The digitization of the economy, accentuated by the Covid period, is accelerating at an unprecedented rate. With technological breakthroughs such as network virtualization and the growing use of cloud-based collaborative tools, business needs are evolving very rapidly. 

To respond to these changes and seize every opportunity, Orange Business is implementing an extensive transformation plan. Orange Business is accelerating its growth in IT and integration services (cybersecurity, Digital & Data, cloud) in Europe, to become a leading network and digital integrator, certified on the latest market technologies to support businesses in their digital transformations. To achieve this objective, Orange Business has reorganized itself by implementing a cost optimization program, while also training its employees to support the transition. The subsidiary has also simplified its service portfolio by halving its product catalog from 2024, focusing on the development of data and AI services, and expanding its expertise in IT solutions, notably through targeted buyouts, such as the Expertime acquisition at the end of 2023.  

We are also providing our customers with cybersecurity support by strengthening the development of our dedicated subsidiary Orange Cyberdefense. With revenue in excess of one billion in 2023, double-digit growth above the market average, and a community of over 2,800 experts, Orange Cyberdefense is reaching a stage of maturity and entering a new phase of development. The aim is to achieve profitable growth and strengthen synergies with our core business as a telecoms operator, in order to capture the full potential of a complex, competitive and rapidly accelerating market. To achieve this, our subsidiary will have to combine accelerated growth with greater efficiency to enable the sustainable long-term development of each of its activities.   

As Europe’s leading telecoms operator in business cybersecurity services in terms of revenues, we boast powerful assets on which Orange Cyberdefense must keep capitalizing in order to further differentiate itself in the market: to feed its Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) with data from a global network, to innovate alongside Orange Innovation through the new Cyber Value Stream, and to exploit every go-to-market opportunity in the scope of Orange’s activities, particularly in Europe.   

By maintaining its current trajectory, Orange Cyberdefense will be able to become a leading full-service player in cybersecurity, able to serve all types of customers, from large corporations to small and medium-sized businesses, and in the future even private individuals, as well as all verticals, notably the most affected by cyberattacks: industry, finance, healthcare and the public sector.
