While the current health crisis and the rise of remote work have highlighted the vital need for cybersecurity, Thales is supporting companies and organizations in securing their sensitive data. To enable French and foreign corporations to exchange and collaborate in total trust, Thales is launching the first ever "collaborative platform accredited with the French restricted level", operating on a SaaS model (Software as a Service).

Thales has also joined the Microsoft Intelligent Security Association (MISA) as a Managed Security Services Provider (MSSP). MISA is an ecosystem of independent software vendors and managed security providers who have integrated their solutions with Microsoft to better defend against a world of increasing threats.

Thales has launched Season 3 of AI@Centech, a business accelerator designed to help artificial-intelligence focused startups tackle real-world problems.

Thales Alenia Space, a joint venture between Thales (67 %) and Leonardo (33 %), has been selected by ESA in the frame of the Horizon 2020 program, for a new contract to design and develop a prototype of the next generation of ground station for the European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service (EGNOS), called NLES-Next (Navigation Land Earth Station).

Thales has successfully completed the first flight of a half-scale prototype of its UAS 100 long-range unmanned air system. Developed in partnership with Issoire Aviation and Hionos, and with the support of the French Ministry of the Armed Forces via the Defence Innovation Agency (AID), UAS100 will help meet demand for more cost-effective drone missions with a lower environmental impact.

New solution integrates effortlessly with existing call centre enrolment processes. It is completely transparent for users and enables staff to focus on enhancing service. Thales voice matching supports both fraud detection and seamless authentication of legitimate customers.
