Question 3652 — defense

Summary

Ms. Anne Le Hénanff draws the attention of the Minister of the Armed Forces to the updating of the strategic cyber defense review. Aware that the increase in cyberattacks and their intensity was likely to harm, at any time, the interests and sovereignty of the Nation, Edouard Philippe, then Prime Minister, had entrusted the General Secretariat of Defense and National Security (SGDSN) with the task of drafting in 2018 a strategic cyber defense review. A true white paper, this review is the first major strategic synthesis exercise in this area and provides an overview of the cyber threat, formulates proposals for improving the nation's cyber defense and opens up perspectives aimed at improving the cybersecurity of French society. If this first edition marks the beginning of a real awareness of the threat and a strategy for the country, 6 years later, it is clear that the cyber threats that must be faced have evolved, increased and intensified. The unprecedented credits (4 billion) allocated to cyber defense within the framework of the LMP 2024-2030 or the future transposition of the NIS 2 directive demonstrate the need to invest and strengthen the arsenal, both material and legislative, in the cyber domain. Like the recommends the report on the challenges of cyber defense (2024) of which the MP is co-author, it is necessary to update this strategic review in order to take into account new issues and new actors such as local authorities. Finally, while the President of the Republic, during his wishes to the armies on Monday January 20, 2025, requested the updating of the national strategic review (RNS) by the month of Next May, particularly in view of the geopolitical context, the update of the cyber defense strategic review appears very timely. Also, she wants to know when the update of the cyber defense strategic review will appear.
