Making Hospitals Safer

We take you to the heart of the French hospital system with Alain Tenoux, Deputy Director of the Buildings and Complex Structures Division and Léo Thierry, Head of Cybersecurity Development at Equans. 

With ongoing projects at university hospitals in Nantes, Rennes, Nice, Tours, Caen, Paris, Argenteuil, and Pointe-à-Pitre, Equans is a long-standing partner to healthcare facilities. With Europe’s largest engineering firm specializing in air conditioning, the Group has made indoor air quality in hospitals one of its key areas of expertise.

In recent years, the cyber threat to hospitals has increased significantly. As with any organization, the security of a healthcare facility depends primarily on two things: good digital hygiene among its staff and the implementation of emergency procedures to ensure continuity of care in the event of a cyberattack.
