Security: American companies of the Riviera get protected

The revelations, on Monday, of the anti-terrorist judges from four European countries about a radical Islamic network preparing attacks against American interests in Europe, are the source of worries of American companies working in the French Riviera. After the terrorist attacks in America, most of the American companies which are set up in the French Riviera have strengthened their protection thanks to local security companies.

Around thirty companies have thus strengthened their security system (the system which was already very successful in companies such as IBM La Gaude, Texas Instruments in Villeneuve-Loubet or Compaq in Sophia Antipolis). Other smaller companies have set a security system as they already did during the Gulf war. And American companies remains very discreet regarding this security measures.

In Sophia Antipolis, the VigiPirate plan is set at the Ceram since Monday. From now on, only two entries are opened to come in the business school of the CCI and you will have to show the badge or to be checked to come into the school.
