Dassault Aviation: a world first in secured industrial design

The Falcon 7X business jet from Dassault Aviation was designed using a secure virtual platform. Around 1,000 engineers from 20 partners in six countries from Western Europe and North America worked together remotely on the detailed design of the aircraft. Dassault Aviation aeronautical designer and manufacturer had total and permanent visibility of the data: availability and sharing of data enabled the Falcon 7X to be developed on schedule and with a record level of quality and productivity improvement. “This platform was only possible with an infrastructure based on trust,” said Jean-Paul Weber, Chief Security Officer at Dassault Aviation.
“The Bull offering demonstrated its effectiveness during intensive intrusion tests.” The system is based on a dual security level – powerful user authentication and VPN network security – a solution that guarantees optimum security of the architecture.

The European Union adopts globull™

The General Secretariat of the Council of the European Union (GSC EU) has acquired globull devices – the encryption-protected mobile office designed and developed by Bull – with the aim of equipping its diplomatic staff.

After rigorous testing, configuration and trialing program, globull was officially presented to the 27 member States of the EU in April 2008.

Deutsche Bahn controls 1 million user accounts to align security and business processes

Deutsche Bahn, one of Europe’s principal transport operators, has decided to implement an identity management system, to ensure full control over the access that its 60,000 users have to some 800 business applications. Having carried out a comprehensive assessment of the available solutions, the operator chose the solution from Bull Evidian, European leader in Identity and Access Management (IAM). Evidian’s main advantage was its user-centered approach, analyzing and controlling access to a million user accounts at Deutsche Bahn in line with business processes. As a result, the company will be able to strengthen its internal control procedures, and carry out continual audits to ensure that only authorized users have access to its strategic applications. Another guarantee of excellence for Deutsche Bahn.
