Lessons Learned

Thu, 15 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Excellent lessons learned from David Savary (University of Tours) on an often overlooked topic: the resilience of the application mapping itself.

When the network goes down, that’s precisely when the mapping becomes critical… and yet often inaccessible. The solution presented is simple, pragmatic, and effective: automated Mercator exports, enriched by queries, stored offline via Nextcloud, and directly aligned with the institution’s Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP).

Result: an operational mapping in a crisis situation, usable even without a functional IT system. This is exactly what we expect from a mature security approach.
