products and services that do not endanger their
competitiveness or security, those of their partners
or their clients.
Most digital equipment, objects and services that
are currently available on the market do not have
the level of data security that enables them to avoid
an incident: data leakage, malfunction or break in
service. For French businesses, ergonomics, the protection of personal data and the level of security of
digital products and services that they develop and
produce, in the short term should become a differentiator, a competitive advantage for them and in
return, for the nation.
In addition, although counterfeiting does not
directly fall under information systems security,
counterfeit cybersecurity products can endanger
the activity of organisations that purchase them.
In terms of the internationalisation of businesses and export, considering the environment
of extreme international competition in which our
partners provide solid and structured support to
their industry, the State services should become sustainably organised to support French cybersecurity
businesses.
The mobilisation and coordination of all the public and private resources available are essential to

adapted to the uses and cyber threats are available
to its citizens, businesses and administrations.
ORIENTATIONS
>
Developing and accentuating the national and
European offer of security products and services.
In collaboration with the competent administrations of the Ministry of Economy, Industry and Digital
Technology and the Ministry of Defence, in 2012 the
National Agency for Information Systems Security initiated an industrial policy to develop the national fabric
of businesses that develop cybersecurity products and
services.
The launch of the New Industrial France «cybersecurity» plan in 2013, now included in the «Digital Trust» solution, and the support of the General
Commission for Investment and of BpiFrance made it
possible to organise the sector and issue requests for
proposals aimed at creating an offer for trustworthy
equipment to detect cyberattacks, essentially for operators of vital importance, and secured mobile products
for all businesses.
The State services will increase their efforts to qualify and monitor cybersecurity products and services,
and support the development of new security products
that correspond to the changes in usage patterns. They
