EDF has decided, as a precautionary measure following an internal enquiry, to suspend Pierre François, site protection engineer, and his line manager Pascal Durieux, security manager in the Production and Engineering Division from their duties, to ensure that the legal enquiry into unlawful intrusion into information systems is conducted with the necessary impartiality.

EDF has just found out, during the internal investigations that followed the search, that a monitoring contract with Securewyse, which has just been cancelled, was signed without full regard for the Group’s rules.

Along with government departments, the company endeavours to ensure the safety of installations and people on a daily basis in order to prevent violent action at its sites. Accordingly, like all industrial enterprises, EDF constantly monitors information that may affect its activity while strictly observing the legal provisions.

EDF wholeheartedly condemns any method aimed at obtaining information illegally.
