What Alcyconie does

Alcyconie is a Saint-Malo, France-headquartered cyber crisis management specialist targeting enterprises and critical-infrastructure operators across France and Europe. Founded in 2018 and structured as a private SAS with 11–50 employees, the firm delivers the end-to-end crisis lifecycle — pre-crisis preparedness (simulations, training, framework design), during-crisis response (24/7 on-call hot support, crisis coordination, crisis communication, legal guidance), and post-crisis recovery — and is one of the few French providers holding the ANSSI PACS qualification scoped specifically to cyber crisis management. Its customer base spans defense, telecommunications, critical infrastructure, banking and insurance, luxury, healthcare, energy, industrial/manufacturing, agribusiness, retail, and private equity, with 215+ clients served, 500 exercises delivered, 30 active crises managed in real-time, and 6,500+ people trained since inception.

The firm's proprietary technology stack centers on two platforms. PIA® (Plateforme d'Entraînement) is a secure, immersive simulation environment reproducing realistic IT crisis conditions including simulated social networks, mailboxes, and real-time news feeds; it was developed with support from the Brittany region and is offered alongside training engagements. Crisis Cockpit© is an AI-enhanced crisis management and command platform positioned to give crisis leaders immediate, crystal-clear situational visibility and to coordinate response activities across functions. The AI layer is described as augmentation for crisis piloting and decision support rather than a standalone model stack.

Alcyconie makes money primarily through professional services — bespoke consulting engagements, simulation exercises, training delivered in-person at Saint-Malo/Paris/Marseille offices or on client premises, and retainer/astreinte arrangements — complemented by subscription access to Crisis Cockpit© and a 24/7 enhanced on-call support tier. Training is QUALIOPI-certified and eligible for OPCO financing, lowering the procurement barrier for French buyers. Distribution runs through direct enterprise field sales targeting RSSI, DSI, COMEX, legal, and communication functions, supplemented by content marketing, masterclasses, an annual seminar, and earned media (e.g., Le Monde coverage); physical presence inside Campus Cyber in Puteaux and Campus Cyber Région Sud in Marseille anchors proximity to French cyber decision-makers.

Direct peers

• Crisis24: Crisis24 (a GardaWorld company) provides integrated cyber crisis management, intelligence-led security consulting, and 24/7 crisis response to corporations and high-net-worth individuals. It is a direct peer to Alcyconie because both deliver preparedness training, simulation exercises, and live crisis support for cyber and physical incidents.
• S-RM: S-RM is a cyber security and intelligence consultancy running a dedicated Cyber Crisis Response practice that delivers readiness assessments, tabletop exercises, and 24/7 incident response support — closely mirroring Alcyconie's full lifecycle cyber crisis service offering.
• Kroll: Kroll's Cyber Risk practice delivers incident response, cyber risk assessments, and crisis preparedness services globally to enterprises and law firms. Its focus on cyber-driven crisis management and breach response positions it as a direct competitor for many of Alcyconie's regulated enterprise clients.
• NCC Group: NCC Group provides cyber resilience, incident response, and managed security services with a strong European footprint and crisis simulation capabilities. It overlaps directly with Alcyconie's PIA-style simulations and 24/7 cyber crisis support offerings for regulated enterprises.

Broad incumbents

• Mandiant (Google Cloud): Mandiant, now part of Google Cloud, is a global leader in cyber incident response and managed defense with crisis response retainers and IR-1 readiness services. It is a broad incumbent that overlaps with Alcyconie's on-call crisis support and exercise-based preparedness offerings at much larger scale.
• FTI Consulting: FTI Consulting's Strategic Communications and Technology segments run cyber crisis simulations, breach response, and ransomware negotiation support. Its broad consulting portfolio competes for the same board-level and COMEX-level crisis preparedness budgets that Alcyconie targets.
• Control Risks: Control Risks is a global risk consultancy with a dedicated Cyber Threat Intelligence and Crisis Response offering, including tabletop exercises and live incident support. It competes with Alcyconie for multinational enterprise and critical infrastructure preparedness engagements.
• Orange Cyberdefense: Orange Cyberdefense is the cybersecurity arm of Orange, providing managed detection, incident response, and crisis management services across Europe. As a major French-headquartered cyber provider, it is a broad incumbent that competes with Alcyconie for regulated French enterprise and OIV/OES clients.
• Thales: Thales operates cybersecurity and digital identity services for defense, government, and critical infrastructure operators, often bundled with consulting and managed services. Its defense-sector and OIV/OES client base directly competes with Alcyconie's regulated-sector engagements.

Emerging players

• Sekoia.io: Sekoia.io is a French cybersecurity SaaS company providing extended detection and response (XDR) and cyber threat intelligence to enterprises and MSSPs. While focused on detection rather than crisis management, it represents the emerging class of French cybersecurity platforms that could expand into crisis response, partially overlapping with Alcyconie's market.
