Digital Transformation: Avant de Cliquer and MATMUT Honored at the 2025 Awards.
On June 10, 2025, the “Digital Transformation Innovation Awards” ceremony, organized by Solutions Numériques & Cybersécurité, took place. This event, which has become a must-attend in the French cyber and IT ecosystem, annually recognizes the most inspiring projects in the field of digital transformation. For this edition, Avant de Cliquer and its client, the MATMUT Group, had the honor of receiving two awards for their commitment to this initiative, characterized by a human-centered, responsible approach grounded in the realities of organizations.
Recognition for a self-reliant and committed solution
As a leader in behavioral cybersecurity, Avant de Cliquer has been recognized for its direct contribution to its clients’ digital transformation. This award celebrates a human-centered approach that was developed entirely in France.
Our mission: to help organizations strengthen their security by training their employees in the critical security practices that matter most. With our comprehensive, automated SaaS solution, companies can significantly reduce the risks associated with cyberattacks—whether they come from outside… or within.
MATMUT: A Model of Digital Transformation
The MATMUT Group, a client of Avant de Cliquer for over three years, has also been recognized for its exemplary approach to digital transformation. Thanks to a structured program of awareness-raising and phishing simulations, the group has managed to reduce the click-through rate on phishing emails by more than tenfold, from 14% to 1%!
In addition, this winning strategy is spearheaded in particular by the company’s Chief Information Security Officer, Cédric CHEVREL, who was on hand to accept the award. Fun fact: he recently discovered that Avant de Cliquer and MATMUT’s headquarters are neighbors—both located in the Rouen metropolitan area!
An afternoon filled with lively discussions and new perspectives
Throughout the afternoon, informal meetings and discussions brought together public authorities, urban planners, digital solution providers, and major private companies to address the central question: how to accelerate the digital transformation.
- Grand Paris Aménagement (Johann Trinh): a state-run public agency serving local communities and a leading urban planner in the Île-de-France region
- City of Suresnes (Fabrice Bulteau and Bruno Noyer): a municipality committed to smart city initiatives and regional digital transformation
- Matmut (Cédric Chevrel): an insurance group focused on cyber insurance and securing its customer processes
- Tessi (Emmanuelle Ertel and Joseph Simon): a company specializing in digital transformation, business process optimization, and the customer experience for businesses
- Eclairion (Arnaud Lépinois): a sovereign data center dedicated to HPC hosting and high-security cloud services
- Vertiv (Séverine Hanauer): a company specializing in critical infrastructure (data centers, cooling, and power continuity)
- Dentego (mentioned by Inès Desert via Zeendoc ): Dentego dental clinics offering dental care accessible to everyone
The discussions focused on specific topics, including the security of digital supply chains, sovereign hosting, the evolution of local public services, and responsible digitalization, among others. This diversity of perspectives enabled a comprehensive approach to digital transformation, combining technological innovation, data protection, and local value creation.
