As security threats evolve and the complexity of modern defense ecosystems intensifies, Orange is well-positioned to lead the critical transformation, delivering resilient, secure and sovereign digital infrastructure.

Orange Business is known for delivering top-tier digital infrastructure and services, with the new division fully leveraging this core capability. Key assets include 45,000 km of terrestrial fiber optics, 2,500+ satellite antennas for extended coverage and remote operations, 450,000 km of submarine cables for global connectivity, along with the best service quality 5G network in France and Europe. This effort is further backed by Orange Cyberdefense, which has a robust footprint in cybersecurity across France and Europe. It brings cutting-edge cyber threat intelligence, detection and response capabilities, including Cyber Threat Intelligence tailored for critical infrastructure and defense clients. In the B2B segment, Orange Cyberdefense maintained steady growth of 8%, largely fueled by strong results in France.
