Cyber Security Management (CSM), which has been operating throughout Belgium since 2017, had been looking to expand its operations into Luxembourg for some time. Today, through a partnership with YeS Sales & Management, a strategic consulting firm active in Luxembourg since 2009, that goal has been achieved. “It’s not quite a marriage yet, but it’s already a beautiful engagement, ” notes Peter Braem, CEO of Cyber Security Management.
Since its founding in 2017, Cyber Security Management has been protecting and securing the infrastructure and data systems of numerous large and small companies, as well as federal public services, airports, hospitals, and more. What sets the company apart—and is its strength—is that it offers only 100% European solutions, primarily from France. CSM is also the Belgian partner of Advens, France’s leading pure-play cybersecurity company, and of Hexatrust, a consortium of some sixty French cloud computing and cybersecurity firms.
For its part, YeS provides customized business and technology services to companies based in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg or looking to establish a presence there. Its activities are organized around four key areas: Sales & Management, Process & Technology, Marketing & Communication, and Human Resources. Through this partnership, Yves Steinbush, CEO of YeS, is adding another string to his bow.
“Beyond regulatory, economic, and security concerns, cybersecurity and the trusted cloud represent a societal issue. We must consider the level of data protection we wish to provide to our citizens, consumers, and businesses, as well as the role we wish to play in this regard. These issues are particularly sensitive in Luxembourg. Therefore, we intend to uphold the principle of sovereign cybersecurity.” - Yves Steinbusch, CEO of YeS Sales & Management
The global volume of data will increase 45-fold over the next ten years. Only by fully harnessing this vast, inexhaustible resource will European countries be able to remain respected powers on the world stage, demonstrating that there is a third way: one of economic prosperity that respects freedoms, social justice, and the environment. This shared vision of the two SMEs, CSM and YeS, has led to a commitment.
“The partnership, in fact, is rooted in a shared vision. And it is based on a similar modus operandi: flexible structures that truly listen to the customer, drawing on local talent. No autonomy without proximity! Cyber Security Management is an SME, and so is YeS. We share the same market approach and the same commitment to service, rooted in constant engagement. This is crucial, especially when it comes to security—a subject of the utmost sensitivity.” - Peter Braem, CEO of Cyber Security Management
At its core, the Luxembourg-based company remains focused on the guiding principle that built it: providing independent advice and demonstrating commitment. For YeS, the solution is merely a tool, even though it was chosen with great care and complete independence. YeS supports the client from the initial analysis of their needs through to the benefits generated. “Trust, pragmatism, and return on investment will always make the difference. Today, we’re adding another dimension: the pursuit of sovereignty, ” concludes Yves Steinbusch.
The first step in this partnership between CSM and YeS will be a joint appearance, alongside Advens, at the Luxembourg Security Summit on September 28, 2022.
