"In 2025, cybersecurity is widely delivered and consumed as a service, but managed services cannot exist without a firm understanding of the risks, the attack surface, and the potential impacts of an attack. This is why we have selected 14 vendors active in France and 35 criteria to compare them for their consulting & managed services," explains Eric DOMAGE, Senior Analyst Cybersecurity.

Many of these vendors have a dual capacity for IT & OT services. Among the main criteria, we have used technical and economic filters, as well as sovereign approach, innovation capacity and HR attractiveness policies. This RADAR reveals that while the major players demonstrate a very powerful capacity to face all types of incidents and threats across a broad geography, the mid-caps may demonstrate greater agility when it comes to technology.

They are highly innovative, capable of using their own SIEM/SOAR software, and partner more deeply with local and sovereign cybersecurity entities. The influx of private equity investment in mid-caps fuels rapid internal and external growth. This RADAR will help organisations to choose the best partners, ask the right questions, and select the most suitable vendor for their needs.
