2017, Measures to take in Cybersecurity.
The national information systems security agency (ANSSI) and the club of information and digital security experts (CESIN) have published their best practices for protecting company IT and data .
Some are very simple to implement but are nonetheless effective.
At a time when threats of all kinds (ransomware, spear-phishing, etc.) have reached a level of intensity never before observed – with 4 cyberattacks detected in France in 165 according to PWC (and 2016 against the Ministry of Defense) -, businesses are fortunately far from being helpless to deal with it. Before embarking on the implementation of complex and expensive solutions – although often necessary – what could be better than following best practices to avoid the worst? This is what the ANSSI (national information systems security agency) and the CESIN (club of information and digital security experts) are proposing at the start of the year. [Sources]
L' National Information Systems Security Agency (ANSSI) is a French service created by decree in July 2009. ANSSI presents its missions as follows: “The agency ensures the mission of national authority in matters of information systems security. As such, it is responsible for proposing the rules to be applied for the protection of State information systems and for verifying the application of the measures adopted. In the field of information systems defense, it provides a monitoring, detection, alert and reaction service to computer attacks, particularly on State networks. » ANSSI provides its expertise and technical assistance to administrations and businesses with a reinforced mission for the benefit of operators of vital importance (OIV).
