French NATIONAL DIGITAL SECURITY STRATEGY — objective 1 private sector and qualified key figures in their work. The mission of this panel will notably be to identify the key technologies for which in-depth knowledge is required for cybersecurity professions and in general for the development of a trustworthy digital environment. It will evaluate the initial and continuing education needs, will monitor Research and support its development, participate in improving support for young PhD holders. In the field of digital technologies, it will contribute to setting the strategic goals of systems for financing and supporting research and industrial development. This work will be implemented in consistence with that of the structures that have already been established such as the French Security Industries Sector Association (CoFIS). In general, the choice of major private stakeholders in terms of economic or technological model, which are sometimes external to any normalisation framework, or simply certain innovations in digital uses, can consolidate trust or incite mistrust. The Expert Panel for Digital Trust will organise technological and economic monitoring through which evolutions of digital related issues can be anticipated. If necessary, adapted measures will be recommended to support or supervise these changes. These measures could, for example, concern the protection of the Nation’s scientific and technical potential or the control of foreign investments in critical national businesses. The ministerial coordinators for cyberspace issues in collaboration with the General Secretary of Defence and National Security will come together in an Expert Panel Commission for the subjects that fall within its competence. This Expert Panel will also give an annual report to the Prime Minister on its activities. > Ensuring active monitoring of the security of technologies and uses for the State, businesses and citizens. In anticipation of major technological developments, such as the 5th generation of mobile telecommunications (5G) or «software-defined networks», France will remain attentive to the type and capabilities of equipment and software installed within these electronic communication networks, to protect the privacy of correspondences, that of its citizens and the resilience of these infrastructures, and will continue to adapt its regulatory framework to new emerging technologies. The National Authority on Information Systems Security will regularly inform the ministries, businesses, territorial authorities and citizens, by means adapted to the target community, of factors that might present a danger in terms of digital use. These information will have been consolidated beforehand with the competent administrations. > Accelerating the reinforcement of State Information Systems Security. Since 2010, several measures have been taken to raise the level of security of State information systems. A State Information Systems Security Policy (PSSIE) was developed, an inter-ministerial electronic communications network is in rapid growth and the roll-out of secured mobile terminals has been initiated. These measures, like those aimed at producing the security equipment to protect sovereign information, mobilise human and budgetary resources. They will be pursued in order to provide to the Government and our military capabilities with the level of security adapted to longterm preservation of France’s autonomy in making decisions and taking action. The application of the State Information Systems Security Policy and the effectiveness of the measures adopted will be evaluated annually. An annual confidential report will be transmitted to the Prime Minister and the Parliament will be informed by means of indicators. With the same objective of informing the Parliament, as of 2016, bills will have a section in their impact assessment dedicated to digital technology which will also include cybersecurity, established under the auspices of the senior civil servants in charge of the quality of regulation. More broadly, senior civil servants in charge of the quality of regulation will ensure that the 15
