The cyber attack on French television network TV5Monde in April 2015 was aimed at destruction, according to the network’s managing director Yves Bigot. Bigot was a member of a panel discussing how to defend businesses from cyber aggressors, which concluded that while there is no way to stop cyber crime and cyber attacks, businesses can and should focus on minimizing the impact.
The panel also said organizations should not invest only in preventing attackers from getting in, but also in detection, response and remediation capabilities as well as employee education and training.
