Train yourself in Cyberdefense to meet the major challenges of digital security and sovereignty.
The Cyberdefense of our digital systems is a priority to guarantee our security, our prosperity and our freedoms. The Hexagone School Cyberdefense course was built with the best French providers of security solutions, such as Stormshield (Airbus), Outscale (Dassault Systèmes) or HarfangLab.

Why a cyberdefense programme?
States, institutions and companies are faced with fierce international competition that increasingly translates into ruthless clashes in cyberspace. The health crisis we are experiencing has highlighted the importance of digital technology for our societies but has also revealed weaknesses, such as during the computer attacks suffered by French hospitals in 2021.
Recruitment in the field of cyber defense in the years to come will be massive in the public and in the private sector: for example, the Ministry of the Armed Forces has announced the recruitment of 2,000 additional cyber-combatants within 3 years.
The skills shortage is gigantic, while the stakes are fundamental.
This is why, while remaining faithful to its values of excellence, innovation and quality, the Hexagon School has decided to open a Cyberdefense course under the authority of Commander Nicolas MALBEC who also has important responsibilities within the Cyber Defense Command (COMCYBER).
