The Belgian defence sector is evolving rapidly. In a recent Trends (Mediaplanet) “Security” special, Thor Van Driessche represented Axians in a roundtable with seven experts, sharing how the private sector can boost digital resilience.
In a world where digital threats are becoming increasingly complex, business continuity is no longer a luxury but a necessity. Axians positions itself as a trusted partner in cybersecurity and crisis preparedness, offering solutions that help organizations proactively anticipate risks and respond swiftly in emergencies. At Axians, we believe that business continuity and crisis readiness go hand in hand with a robust IT infrastructure. Our clients rely on 24/7 support, redundant systems, and a proactive approach to safeguard their critical processes from disruption.
Quality and security above cost
Our approach is rooted in quality and trust. Axians operates according to the strictest standards, such as ISO 27001, and our teams hold the necessary security clearances to work in sensitive environments. We continuously invest in training and technology to provide our clients with solutions that are not only high-performing but also secure and future-proof.
At Axians, we prefer an innovative and flexible approach over rigid procedures. We actively collaborate with our clients, delivering tailored solutions that meet their specific needs. Our AV-as-a-Service is a prime example: clients always have access to the latest technology, without concerns about obsolescence or security risks.
