Scorton establishes Predictive Cybersecurity Platform in Nancy

Scorton, a predictive cybersecurity SaaS platform that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to detect and prevent cyberattacks, has just settled in Nancy (Meurthe-et-Moselle).

A new player in predictive cybersecurity joins the Grand Est ecosystem

It was during the Francophonie Summit in Paris in 2024 that the meeting between Scorton and Grand Est Développement International took place. Shortly after this initial contact, our team organized a look-and-see-trip to Nancy. This trip allowed the founding team to explore a dynamic innovation ecosystem committed to digital sovereignty, artificial intelligence (AI), and cybersecurity

A few months later, Scorton sets up in Nancy to develop its first R&D and commercial development hub in the region!

An innovative and human-centered cybersecurity solution

Scorton is a predictive cybersecurity SaaS platform that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to detect and prevent threats related to human factors, which account for more than 60% of cyberattacks.

Through behavioral analysis, a Cyber Awareness Score, and personalized training paths, the solution enables companies to strengthen their teams’ vigilance and anticipate risks before they materialize.

Accessible to SMEs, local authorities, hospitals, and training providers, Scorton is a sovereign, ethical, and inclusive solution designed for organizations with limited resources but highly exposed to cyber threats.

A territorial anchoring facilitated by regional support

The decision to establish in the Grand Est was made possible thanks to the personalized support of Grand Est Développement International, which connected Scorton to key players in the territory:

• LORR’UP, the local economic development agency which has supported Scorton for its establishment in the region,
• Village by CA Lorraine, a start-up accelerator which is currently supporting the strategic development of Scorton,
• The innovation networks Grand Nancy Innovation, La French Tech Est, and CYNUM, which enabled rapid integration into the local tech community.

This support was crucial for initiating academic collaborations, exploring public/private partnerships, and structuring a territorial project around predictive and behavioral cybersecurity.

A team of experts originally from Eastern France

Talents committed between Grand Est and international Scorton’s influence also relies on a team with strong regional roots and international reach. To name but a few:

Claire Lehmann, originally from Alsace, former HR Innov at Crédit Mutuel (Strasbourg) and Fractional Culture Officer for Scorton, plays a key role in developing an inclusive, ethical, and innovation-oriented corporate culture.

Christelle Scharff, originally from Lorraine and a computer science professor at Pace University (New York), supports R&D work on artificial intelligence models, cybersecurity, and training. She embodies the strategic link between European research and major American campuses.

A European and inclusive vision of cybersecurity

By choosing Nancy, Scorton affirms its commitment to contributing to secure and responsible digital technology in Europe, while developing accessible, eco-designed, and human-centered educational tools. Scorton’s ambition is clear: to join Nancy’s cyber expertise hub and promote predictive cyber vigilance in service of people and businesses.
