French NATIONAL DIGITAL SECURITY STRATEGY — objective 2 « Digital technology development cannot be sustainable in a cyberspace where States do not respect the good practices required for a balanced digital transition that is beneficial to all nations » rance companies, for example). Digital technology development cannot be sustainable in a cyberspace where States do not respect the good practices required for a balanced digital transition that is beneficial to all nations and where a few economic players monopolise the wealth that constitutes digital data, notably personal data, true resources for future generations. OBJECTIVE France will develop cyberspace use that is in line with its values and will protect the digital lives of its citizens. It will increase its combat against cybercrime and its assistance to victims of cybermalevolence acts. ORIENTATIONS > Advocating and defending our values on electro- nic communication networks and in international proceedings. Individual rights are applicable in the same way «on-line» and «off-line». Cyberspace should therefore remain a place of free expression for all citizens, where abuses can only be prevented within the limits set by the law and in line with our international agreements. In international proceedings, France advocates this approach aimed at preserving a free and open cyberspace. It is the State’s responsibility to inform citizens of the risks of manipulation and propaganda techniques used by malicious players on the Internet. After the terrorist attacks against France in January 2015, the Go- vernment established an information platform on the risks related to Islamic radicalisation via the electronic communication networks : « Stop-djihadisme.gouv.fr ». This approach could be extended to respond to other phenomena of propaganda or destabilisation. The competent defence and security services are responsible for detecting these phenomena and providing the Government with recommendations for implementing these measures. > Providing local assistance to victims of cybermalevolent acts. Co-piloted by the Ministry of the Interior and the National Agency for Information Systems Security, with the support of the Department of Justice, the Ministries of Finance and Public Accounts, Defence, Economy and Industry, and Digital Technology, a national system will be established as of 2016 to provide assistance for victims of cybermalevolence. This system will also be aimed at increasing awareness of the challenges of protecting digital privacy and of prevention which, on a local level, will be based on measures taken by prefects and State services. ANSSI’s territorial network, the regional economic intelligence delegates and the competent economic security departments of the Ministry of the Interior, the «digital transition» network and that of the Bank of France (which could in the long run, integrate a criterion related to the consideration of the cyber risk in its company listing) will participate in this mission. An appeal will be made to the Chambers of Commerce and Industry, the Guild Chambers and in general all the professional networks. The system will have a legal form and an organisation that will enable it to benefit from the contribution of economic stakeholders from the cybersecurity sector; software editors, digital platforms and solution providers. Thanks to the technologies implemented, the system should provide victims with technical solutions supported by local stakeholders and facilitate administrative procedures, notably to encourage the lodging of complaints. 21
