A key element in the evolution of digital protection, cybersecurity automation offers new perspectives for dealing with an ever-increasing number of efficient crimes. Legally, the issue of automation calls upon legal concepts derived from several decades of court decisions.

In addition, and in a legal universe marked in particular by the GDPR, it is appropriate to cross the first question with the delicate question of the management of personal data related to the automation of cybersecurity.
