“Another criterion that motivated our choice was our desire to make the platform our referencing platform, i.e. for security testing as part of our future calls for tenders. We could even imagine the Yogosha platform as a reference system used in two, five, twenty airports. We would publish a list of requirements, and each manufacturer could “challenge” itself against the criteria of the calls for tenders. This could lead to a form of pre-qualification through the platform, with positive or negative test results proving coverage with respect to the requirements.”
"Crowdsourced security was very interesting. Financially first, with the notion of bounties. You only pay if bugs are found – it encourages performance. Secondly, there are no compromises. A traditional service provider will often adapt to the client’s request, directing the research or even the results according to the objectives. With ethical hackers, it is efficiency that counts. Vulnerabilities must be found, and they find them! The campaigns carried out in Boulogne have enabled us to identify several vulnerabilities, and then to correct them. In the end, it is the security of the citizens that has been reinforced. Cybersecurity is not only about protecting systems and softwares, it is also about protecting citizens. A city has a duty to ensure digital security as it ensures the safety of people."
