Agence nationale de la sécurité des systèmes d'information
Summary
The Agence nationale de la sécurité des systèmes d'information (ANSSI; English: French National Agency for the Security of Information Systems) is a French service created on 7 July 2009 with responsibility for computer security.
ANSSI reports to the Secretariat-General for National Defence and Security (SGDSN) to assist the Prime Minister in exercising his responsibilities for defence and national security.
ANSSI replaced the Central Directorate of Computer Security, which on July 31, 2001, replaced the SCSSI.
Guillaume Poupard, Chief Engineer of Armaments, was appointed director general of ANSSI on 27 March 2014, succeeding Patrick Pailloux.
ANSSI has a budget of €80 million (2014) and a workforce of 500 in 2015 and with a target of 567 by the end of 2017.
ANSSI is heir to a long line of bodies responsible for ensuring the security of sensitive information belonging to the French State:
1943: Computing Technical Directorate (created in Algiers);
1951: Computing Technical Service Centre (in Paris);
1977: the Central Communications Security Establishment;
1986: the Central Service for Computer Security;
2001: Central Directorate of Computer Security.
These organizations initially created in a military security perspective confidential information and data protection have gradually evolved. In 1986, the Central Communications Security Establishment has been replaced by the Central Service for Computer Security. Today ANSSI retains a mission of the defence of state information systems, but is also charged with a mission to provide advice and support to government and operators of critical national infrastructure.
ANSSI has the following mission:
"The agency ensures the mission of national authority security of information systems. As such it is responsible for proposing rules for the protection of state information systems and verify the implementation of measures adopted.
In the field of cyber defence, it provides a monitor, detect, alert and reaction to computer attacks, especially on the networks of the State.
