A/74/120 increase stability, through greater mutual knowledge and even trust between stakeholders, as well as establishing mechanisms for joint crisis management , communication and de-escalation.” France’s efforts in the promotion of international cooperation on issues of cybersecurity take place at the European and international levels. Preventing crises by strengthening cooperation and capacity development France considers crisis prevention to be the main objective of its work within the digital space. Thus, as highlighted in the strategic review of cyberdefence, “strengthening protection, resilience and the cooperation of all actors in cyberspace directly contributes to the strengthening of our national security ”. Achieving this goal requires the strengthening of technical, operational and structural cooperation with State partners and international organizations in order to develop the respective capacities of these different actors and the resilience of cyberspace worldwide. Owing to the high level of connectivity between networks and societies, France believes that cybersecurity for all will only be ensured on ce each State has sufficient capacity to secure its own information systems. It is therefore making investments in capacity-building for cybersecurity partners, through bilateral or multilat eral initiatives. Such an investment in cooperation is beneficial to all parties: it allows us to remain up to date by engaging with our peers and learning from them, and fosters mutual enrichment of knowledge and expertise and the development of trust among the actors involved. At the technical level, the national agency for information systems security is continuing the establishment of partnerships with its counterparts in many countries in order to encourage the sharing of critical data such as information regarding weaknesses or faults in products and services. In addition, the national agency for information systems security Computer Emergency Response Team is active in several multilateral networks (the Forum of Incident Response and Security Teams, the European Task Force of Computer Security and Incident Response Teams, the European Government Computer Emergency Response Team Group, the Computer Security Incident Response Team Network of the European Union), allowing it to maintain contact with other computer emergency response teams all over the world. France is conducting a proactive policy for operational and structural cooperation. In recent years, France has deployed international technical experts in cybersecurity in the internal security forces of partner countries. France is also working with Senegal to launch the activities of the national school for cybersecurity in Dakar, an institution with a regional scope inaugurated at the end of 2018. The aim of the project is to provide short and adaptable training courses for cybersecurity professionals and senior officials from West Africa as a matter of priority. In order to enhance cyberresilience at the European Union level, France is contributing to the development of a voluntary cooperation framework for the prevention and resolution of incidents. It is based in particular on the development of common operational standards and procedures for cooperation between partners, which are tested through pan-European exercises. France has also participated in the creation of a “cyber toolbox” which provides a European framework for a joint diplomatic response to cyberattacks, through the use of prevention, cooperation and stabilization measures. France has also supported the adoption of European regulations that take into account the requirements for competitiveness and the potential of digital technology, while continuing to protect citizens, businesses and Member States (including the right to privacy and personal data protection, protection of critical infrastructure and the fight against terrorist content online). This was illustrated by the adoption of 19-10580 19/39
