Created in 2009, French Cybersecurity Agency (ANSSI) is the national authority for cyber security. Reporting to the Secretariat-General for Defence and National Security (SGDSN) placed under the authority of the Prime minister, it is positioned to deploy a comprehensive cyber security policy and ensure its coordination at inter-ministerial level. This policy focuses on defending the most critical public and private digital infrastructure. It is also aimed at all those involved in France’s digital transformation, while promoting the conditions for a dialogue of trust at European and international levels.
Its action is based on these major missions: knowing the cyber risk and anticipating technological developments, developing a culture of cyber security and nurturing a pool of skills, raising the level of cyber security and defending information systems and responding to cyber attacks.
To meet the increasingly complex and global cyber security challenges, ANSSI cooperates with many different audiences.
