“We must regain serenity, reassure students, staff and families”, said Friday March 29 on franceinfo Bruno Bobkiewicz, general secretary of SNPDEN-Unsa, the main union of heads of establishments. The Minister of National Education announced on Thursday that the messaging services of all digital workspaces (ENT) were suspended. They had been the target of threats of attacks for a week in several dozen establishments in France.
“It’s extremely anxiety-inducing to imagine being able to receive a message of this violence,” continues Bruno Bobkiewicz, who therefore approves the decision of the Minister of “suspend within a reasonable time” the tool.
The cybersecurity of ENTs called into question
According to him, this suspension must be “the opportunity to re-examine” the digital tools of national education and “find security solutions”. The significant number of connections on the platform is “a major problem in National Education”. “How to secure when you are 12 million users and a million staff who connect?asks the principal. “This is an imperative on which we must move quickly”he insists.
