Digital fraud has ceased to be a marginal phenomenon and has become a systemic threat to businesses, including those in the cosmetics sector. This white paper, which FEBEA has just published, aims to document the scale of the phenomenon and identify the conditions necessary to strengthen protection against it.
Brand hijacking, mirror sites, online counterfeiting, phishing campaigns, CEO fraud, reputational damage and disinformation campaigns: cyber threats are on the rise and affecting businesses of all sizes.
In response to this exposure to cybercrime, FEBEA has just published the white paper “Digital Risks: Challenges and Prospects for the French Beauty Industry”, and has made it available free of charge on its website.
“This publication highlights a reality shared by the entire cosmetics sector: safeguarding excellence can no longer rest solely on the shoulders of individual companies.

This white paper therefore sets out:

• an analysis of their economic, operational and reputational consequences;
• testimonials from companies facing these threats;
• insights into how cybercriminals’ modus operandi is evolving;
