Background and context
[edit]ANSSI is heir to a long line of bodies responsible for ensuring the security of sensitive information belonging to the French State:[7]
- 1943: Encryption Technical Directorate (created in Algiers);
- 1951: Encryption Technical Service Centre (in Paris);
- 1977: the Central Encryption and Communications Security Establishment;
- 1986: the Central Service for Computer Security;
- 2001: Central Directorate of Computer Security .
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 In 1986, the Central Communications Security Establishment has been replaced by the Central Service for Computer Security.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
[edit]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]

Means

Indeed, ANSSI lacks financial and human resources comparable to its American, British and German counterparts.[15]

Activities
[edit]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]
