Question 23905 — digital

Summary

Ms. Muriel Ressiguier questions the Secretary of State to the Minister of the Economy and Finance and the Minister of Action and Public Accounts, responsible for digital, on cybersecurity which is an important issue as demonstrated by the attacks suffered in particular by the DGFIP, hospitals, Saint-Gobin, and even Airbus. If no sector of activity is spared, the most affected are those of finance, health, energy and telecommunications. The National Information Systems Security Agency (ANSSI) is therefore an important tool, at a time when digital technology is omnipresent in the daily management of the activities of the State, businesses and citizens. In the words of Mr. Guillaume Poupard, Director General of ANSSI: “The context is worrying. Militarization of cyberspace, geopolitical instabilities, all these elements suggest that major attacks are possible and probable.” ANSSI must therefore benefit from substantial financial and human resources enabling it to effectively carry out its missions. Adequate recruitment is also essential to avoid any risk of infiltration by cybercriminals. However, currently, out of 600 agents, 79% are contract workers, with defense secret clearance and therefore have access to sensitive information. This frequent recourse to contract workers is a potential Achilles heel of ANSSI and it would be wise to perpetuate these jobs to best guarantee security and maintain continuity of actions. Likewise, the use of subcontracting in the management of digital protection leaves the door open to the infiltration of people whose goal is to collect sensitive information on public and private companies or on our institutions. Mr. Minister being certainly also aware of these flaws, she asks him if he plans to reflect on the sustainability of staff and the end of the use of subcontractors.
