Marseille Provence Airport: Selection of a SOC Service Provider

Find out how Netsystem’s cybersecurity experts helped Marseille Provence Airport (AMP) select its SOC provider.

Context & objectives

As the main airport in the South region, AMP handles domestic and international flights for both passengers and cargo. ​

With 400 employees and generating €200 million in revenue, the Marseille Provence Airport is France’s third-busiest airport in terms of passenger traffic and its second-busiest in terms of cargo.

Information system security is therefore a major issue for the physical safety of people and property and for AMP’s reputation.

AMP turned to Netsystem for its expertise in cybersecurity and the SOC market, as part of a SOC project management service.

Project duration: 9 months
