French NATIONAL DIGITAL SECURITY STRATEGY — INTRODUCTION ted to the uses and capable of mitigating the identified risks. The main stakeholders in this community are researchers, product and service inventors and integrators, cybersecurity businesses, electronic communications network operators, internet service providers and remote data processing services. The second community is responsible for protecting the nation from digital pirates. Besides the implementation of cybersecurity policies, an aggressive policy to develop the required technical competences should be adopted, and an environment of trust should be established that supports the society’s digital transformation by defending citizens, our values and our interests in cyberspace. This responsibility obliges the bearer to express his position in favour of qualified security solutions and to promote national industry, also in relation to export. This community consists of elected officials, the Government, central and territorial administrations and trade unions. The third community is responsible for using the available services and technologies in a well thoughtout manner, making rational choices and avoiding high-risk behaviours in actions related to digital life. This community consists of all users, companies’ managers, participants in civil society and citizens. These are synallagmatic commitments made by each stakeholder that enable France to fully benefit from the contributions of digital technology, transform the choices related to digital security into national competitive advantages – which are often currently experienced as an economic and behavioural constraint – and to promote our values, products and services. The role of the State in cyberspace is to ensure France’s freedom of expression and action as well as the security of its critical infrastructures in case of a major cyberattack (objective 1), to protect the digital lives of citizens and businesses and combat cybercriminality (objective 2), to ensure the education and training required for digital security (objective 3), to contribute to the development of an environment that is conducive to trust in digital technology (objective 4) and to promote cooperation between Member States of the European Union (EU) in a manner favourable to the emergence of a European digital strategic autonomy, a long-term guarantor of a cyberspace that is more secure and respectful of our values (objective 5). 9
