Sesame IT and its sovereign and hardened detection probe to secure sensitive networks


Sesame IT, offers its Jizô solution to secure the most sensitive networks such as those of industries or the most important administrations of the country.
After years of work in research and development, the company is rewarded for its efforts. The Jizô solution receives a qualification from the National Agency for the Security of Information Systems. Indeed, the Jizô probe has been assigned this qualification which constitutes a real recommendation by the French State. The security visa issued guarantees the quality of the product. At the same time, it also guarantees the company’s skills in its commitment to respect the criteria of trust. It must be said that in a society where all information is dematerialized, the choice of a trusted partner in the management of information security is essential. Sesame IT is one of them and offers a solution at the forefront of research.

Sesame It, years of research to ensure safety

Sesame IT is a pure player company in the field of cybersecurity. That is to say, it offers its services only online and does not have any physical point of sale. With regard to its market, its offer is digitized. The company was born in 2017 under the leadership of Audrey Gayno-Amedro and Jérôme Gouy. Before embarking on the entrepreneurial adventure, both have a long experience in the Lawful Interception of Telecommunications. An experience and a journey that allows them today to position themselves as security and network experts.

Faced with the techniques of analysis and extraction of data in networks but also with the consequences of cyber-attacks, Audrey Gayno-Amedro and Jérôme Gouy decided to develop their solutions. Thus, if the company does not have a point of sale strictly speaking, it is based in Paris. The teams work from the Avenue de l’opéra to provide security solutions. Within Sesame IT, teams are therefore developing network attack detection solutions. These solutions are intended for companies and organizations that want to protect their network.

Work rewarded by ANSSI

However, to offer reliable solutions that guarantee optimal safety, it was a long-term task for the company. Indeed, the objective was to develop a “high reliability” solution that must meet several objectives. On the one hand, it must meet the needs of the Military Planning Act. On the other hand, it must contribute to the protection of the country’s sovereignty. Thus, Sesame IT’s mission is to support Operators of Vital Importance (OIV) to effectively secure their networks. OIVs can be private and public.

They operate or use facilities deemed essential for the survival of the Nation. Thus, faced with the development and sophistication of computer attacks, the implementation of solutions to guarantee security is essential. According to ANSSI’s report, the number of cyber ransomware attacks processed has increased 4-fold in one year. It went from 54 attacks to 192. Thus Sesame IT has developed a suitable solution. This is the Jizo solution. A solution that required no less than three years of research and development work and testing. Years of hard work that have been rewarded by obtaining the security visa from ANSSI. This is the National Agency for the Security of Information Systems. A striking fact for the company which can now enjoy recognition from the State for the implementation of its solutions.

Jizô the sesame IT detection solution qualified by ANSSI to arm its networks

The Jizô solution is therefore Sesame IT’s new solution to secure the OIV networks. It helps increase the integrity of organizations’ networks and secure them. It responds in all respects to the Military Programming Law. It is a law that confirms the state’s commitment to its defence with a financial commitment of 295 billion euros over the period 2019-2025. Thus, Jizo makes it possible to provide effective monitoring for sensitive networks. It helps alert organizations to attacks, changes, or anomalies. More concretely, the solution is an “all-in-a-box” solution. It allows a quick and simple installation while achieving savings both in terms of operation and equipment.

The Sesame IT solution adapted to all OIV

Sesame IT’s solution does not have access to the networks and information it monitors and ships. It is completely independent. Sesame IT teams support the OIV in the implementation and deployment study. The solution is global, it includes the probe, the software solution and also the upgrades. This ensures that compliance is maintained on a constant basis. In addition, since each organization has specific requirements, the company uses an agile method. The goal is to adapt to all specificities. Thus, Sesame’s expertise helps to counter the multiplication of attacks. In the territory, Guillaume Poupard, director of ANSSI, indicates that the three main threats are espionage, serious crime and military risks.

Thus, sesame IT’s Jizô solution offers a reliable service to no less than 200 private or public operators. Operations whose activity contributes to the proper functioning and survival of the Nation. Moreover, in a world where cybercrime continues to develop according to technological advances, Sesame IT does not stop there. The company recently joined the call for projects “the Grand Défi Cyber”. It aims to accelerate the development of solutions to sustainably protect networks and make them untouchable against cyberattacks.
