Orange Cyberdefense is the cybersecurity business of the Orange group. It provides managed security services, security operations, threat intelligence, incident response and security consulting to organisations. Customers usually buy these as operated services rather than as software they install themselves. The company is headquartered in La Défense, near Paris, France.
Orange Cyberdefense is a French company, and Orange press releases describe it as the cybersecurity subsidiary of the Orange group, a French telecommunications operator. Its parent is therefore based in the same country, and both sit within EU law. The company has acquired security firms in several European countries, including Switzerland and the United Kingdom, which extends its service footprint beyond France. A European organisation should verify the data centre and security operations centre locations used for its service, and any sub-processors outside the EU, before relying on it.
