CyberCore

What CyberCore does

CyberCore SAS is a Lyon-headquartered cybersecurity and managed-IT services firm founded formally in 2025 by Jules Pascarel (CEO) and Alexandre Zerrouki (President), both graduates of a master's program in cybersecurity and network/systems infrastructure who previously worked together at a Lyon-based ESN from 2021 to 2024. The firm targets French petites et moyennes entreprises (PME) and entreprises de taille intermédiaire (ETI), with on-site coverage across the Lyon metropolitan area and Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes and remote delivery throughout France including Paris, Marseille, Bordeaux, and Toulouse.

The company's core offering unites cybersecurity operations with IT infrastructure management under a single delivery model, branded as "Cyber + IT." Services span security audits (workstations, servers, Active Directory, Microsoft 365, network, cloud), penetration testing (external, internal, web, AD, cloud), EDR/EPDR deployment and tuning, SOC/MDR operations, incident response, and compliance governance against NIS2, ISO 27001, and ANSSI frameworks. Managed IT (infogérance) covers N1/N2/N3 support, systems maintenance, supervision, and backup. Cloud services cover Microsoft Azure, AWS, and Microsoft 365 landing zones, migrations, FinOps, and multi-region disaster recovery. Differentiated assets include three online diagnostic questionnaires (CyberDiagnostic, NIS2 Preparation, Backup Resilience) and a branded PrivateBin instance for client-side encrypted note sharing. Delivery methodology emphasizes progressive deployment (audit mode, pilots, allowlists, controlled activation) to avoid disrupting production environments, particularly in OT/industrial settings.

CyberCore operates as a bootstrap consultancy with no disclosed external funding. Revenue is generated through custom-quoted professional services and managed service contracts with multi-year terms, priced by perimeter (SI scope), depth, asset count, constraints (OT/production windows), and urgency. Go-to-market combines direct B2B field sales in the Lyon region with inside sales for remote French clients, supported by LinkedIn content publishing, website diagnostic tools, and direct consultation requests. Core vendor partnerships (AWS, WithSecure, Veeam) provide both delivery tooling and partner-sourced pipeline. No named customer logos, case studies, or financial figures are publicly disclosed.

Direct peers

• Advens: French pure-player cybersecurity MSSP headquartered in Lyon offering SOC, EDR/MDR, threat intelligence, and compliance services. Strongest direct competitor to CyberCore, sharing the same geography, same PME/ETI focus, and similar Cyber + managed services positioning.
• XMCO: Paris-based cybersecurity consultancy delivering pentests, security audits, SOC, and incident response to French mid-market clients. Comparable through its service portfolio (audit, pentest, EDR/SOC), French SME/ETI customer base, and similar focus on compliance frameworks.
• Hub One Cybersecurity: French managed services and cybersecurity provider serving mid-market and enterprise clients with SOC, network, and mobility services. Comparable through its integrated network + cyber delivery model and French PME/ETI focus.
• Algosecure: French cybersecurity services firm specializing in penetration testing, security audits, and incident response for PME and ETI. Comparable to CyberCore in customer segment (French mid-market), service mix (pentest, audit, EDR), and delivery model (regional headquarters with national remote coverage).
• Intrinsec: French cybersecurity services firm offering pentesting, SOC, incident response, and managed security services. Overlaps with CyberCore on EDR/MDR deployment, audit services, and the French PME/ETI buyer segment.
• Devensys Cybersecurity: French cybersecurity specialist offering SOC, EDR, audits, and managed security services to mid-sized organizations. Comparable to CyberCore on size, service portfolio, and target segment.

Broad incumbents

• Sopra Steria Cybersecurity: Large European IT services group with cybersecurity capabilities spanning SOC, compliance, identity, and managed defense across France. Relevant incumbent competitor for CyberCore at the larger end of its ETI target segment.
• Capgemini Cybersecurity: Global consulting giant with a substantial French cybersecurity practice covering managed SOC, compliance, identity, and cloud security. Sets the ceiling on ETI RFPs that CyberCore will face and competes on larger engagements.
• Orange Cyberdefense: European leader in managed security services with 24/7 SOCs, EDR, threat intelligence, and compliance offerings across France. Dominant incumbent that CyberCore competes against in the French ETI segment, with vastly greater scale and brand recognition.
• Devoteam Cybersecurity: European IT consulting group with a dedicated cybersecurity practice covering SOC/MDR, compliance (ISO 27001, NIS), cloud security, and managed services. Larger and broader than CyberCore, but competes for the same French enterprise and mid-market cyber mandates.
