4 times more cyberattacks in France in one year
“If there is indeed a space where malevolence never sleeps, not even with one eye, a space where each of us can become the target, the vector, or even the amplifier of our threat, it is well the cyber space ”, declared the Minister of the Armed Forces by signing an agreement with the Public Interest Grouping Action Against Cybermalveillance (GIP Acyma). She added that her ministry wants to strengthen the end-to-end cyber defense chain. This ranges from the central administration to the SME subcontractor of a large defense group.
Among the many cyberattacks, there are those that have targeted French hospitals. Emmanuel Macron announced in February a plan of one billion euros to strengthen the cybersecurity of sensitive systems. For her part, Florence Parly recalled that her ministry had devoted 1.6 billion euros to cyber defense over the period 2019-2025. This follows the Military Programming Law. She also recalled the recruitment of 1,000 cyber fighters by 2025.
