The French government tightens the ranks on national cybersecurity
Tight on cybersecurity from the French government
Tight on cybersecurity from the French government, in particular for telecom operators and online service providers. The new bill will require them to play a more active role in protecting the country’s communications with the help of National Cybersecuirty Agency (ANSSI). The new measures are part of draft legislation on the military budget for the period 2019-2025, on which the parliament is expected to vote this summer. The proposals of Paris include two main elements. The first is that operators would be required to develop own systems for detecting and preventing cyberattacks on their networks. The second is that Anssi would operate its own system for monitoring risks on telecom networks and online communication platforms. If the Agency detected a probable threat to public authorities or critical infrastructure, it could order the operators to take preventive action. The agency could also order operators to inform their customers of the menace.
