Background and context

ANSSI is heir to a long line of bodies responsible for ensuring the security of sensitive information belonging to the French State:[7]

These organizations initially created in a military security perspective confidential information and data protection have gradually evolved. In 1986, the Central Communications Security Establishment has been replaced by the Central Service for Computer Security. Today ANSSI retains a mission of the defence of state information systems, but is also charged with a mission to provide advice and support to government and operators of critical national infrastructure.

Missions

ANSSI has the following mission:

"The agency ensures the mission of national authority security of information systems. As such it is responsible for proposing rules for the protection of state information systems and verify the implementation of measures adopted.

In the field of cyber defence, it provides a monitor, detect, alert and reaction to computer attacks, especially on the networks of the State."[8]

Organization

Management

ANSSI is headed by a director general (currently Vincent Strubel), appointed by the Prime Minister. He is assisted by a deputy director and a chief of staff.

ANSSI has five sub-directorates:

ANSSI also has its own training centre, the Safety Training Centre for Information Systems (CFSSI),[13] including delivering degrees in computer security (ESSI), registered in the National Directory of Professional Certifications.

Governance

ANSSI governance is ensured by a Strategic Committee[14] including:

Means

According to a Senate report, although significant efforts have been put in place in recent years, the situation in France with regard to the threat from cyber attacks is still unsatisfactory. Indeed, ANSSI lacks financial and human resources comparable to its American, British and German counterparts.[15]

Activities

According to French newspaper Le Monde, the ANSSI would have thwarted what seemed to be a simple attack, an interference by the Russians during the French presidential campaign of 2017.[26] "This is not a simple hacking operation, but an attempt to destabilize the French presidential election,"[27] wrote the political party En marche! in the early evening of May 5, 2017.

Following the data leak, ANSSI opened an investigation into the breach.[28]
