Orange unit signs deal to Mistral's latest AI cybersecurity model

Oct 29 (Reuters) - ‌French telecom ​group ​Orange's digital security arm on Thursday announced a partnership with ‌Mistral AI to equip its products ⁠with a cybersecurity variant of the startup's ‌latest AI model.

The ‌deal gives Orange Cyberdefense, one of Europe's largest cybersecurity providers, access to ​a European AI model at a time when the industry grapples ⁠with hackers using AI to launch increased attacks ​on a greater scale.

• Orange will rely on computing capacity located ​in Europe to run ‌models dedicated to its cybersecurity operations, the company said.

• ⁠The rollout will be gradual and, at first, limited to select services Orange ⁠provides to corporate and public-sector clients.

• The company's ​initial focus is on testing clients' defenses to find vulnerabilities before attackers do, and ‌on investigating breaches faster once they occur.

• Orange Cyberdefense reported €1.3 ‌billion ($1.45 billion) in revenue in ⁠2025. Financial terms ‌were not disclosed.
