Defence & Security: meeting the challenges of multi-domain and disruptive technologies 

Meeting today's challenges to protect the world of tomorrow with Sopra Steria 

Contributing to making Europe and its nations stronger, capable of facing up to the many challenges and dangers they encounter, while also making them fairer and more protective for all their citizens. Such is the ambition that Sopra Steria is pursuing alongside defence actors—companies and industries, public services, ministries, and international organisations (NATO and the European Union). 

In a world being reshaped by instability and conflict, the survival and sovereignty of our democracies are at stake, and we are determined to defend them with you, in both the civilian and military spheres. Intelligence and information management, securing communications, sensitive data and logistics chains, as well as inter-service, joint and allied interoperability, are priorities to facilitate decision-making and maximise operational impact. 

At Sopra Steria, we firmly believe that today’s challenges will shape our shared future. By redoubling innovation, developing hybrid and customised strategies, and pooling expertise and information, we can strengthen the security of states, people, and data. Transformation is the key to a more secure and sovereign future, and it is the path on which our experts guide you with ambition and determination.

Mastering the new fields of Defence and Security with disruptive technologies 

The emergence or resurgence of strategic competition, the intensification of asymmetric conflicts, and crises such as climate change and migration are reshaping our world. These factors exacerbate rivalries and struggles for influence, creating ever more antagonisms. At the same time, the technological acceleration we are experiencing, such as the rise of artificial intelligence, cloud computing and post-quantum technologies, is forcing a paradigm shift in how we approach Defence and Security. 

As new areas of coveted resources open up (including high altitude, space, the high seas, the seabed, as well as cyberspace and the information domain), and as the vulnerability of states and organisations increases, disruptive technologies represent a tremendous opportunity. As we have already seen, they are real sources of anticipation, protection, reaction, and resilience in the face of multiple threats. We can help you exploit them to turn them into genuine levers of superiority. 

For Sopra Steria, mastering, integrating, and coupling these technologies across the various fields of Defence and Security will be decisive for maintaining a strategic advantage, staying technologically strong, agile, and independent, and defining and supporting new methods of engagement.

With the emergence of the “New Space”, a new arena of conflict between opposing powers, quantum technologies are introducing innovative solutions for satellite links, encryption, security at all levels, camouflage and stealth. Quantum technologies will play a crucial role in securing military actions in space and protecting both space itself and the satellites operating within it, both defensively and offensively.
