At a global conference in Lille, the French Defence Secretary, Florence Parly (pictured), said the country would “use its cyber arms as with all other traditional weapons ...to respond and attack”. Her comments at the Forum International de la Cybersécurité (FIC), are particularly resonant, when viewed through the prism of the stance most commonly adopted by EU nations in this area; which is one of reactive defence – with overhauls happening in the wake of major cyber incidents. Parly said that the “cyber-weapon is not only for our enemies” to deploy, and added that the country’s doctrine in relation to cyber warfare encompassed public and private partnerships, with the nation’s defence establishment working with SME’s in the tech sector, to help bolster the country’s cyber-defence and security capabilities. In addition, she called for pan-European cooperation in relation to cyber security threats, a crisis which she said “has no border”. The French stance on cybersecurity was crystallised at the November 2018 Paris Call announcement, at which Parly unveiled the country’s doctrine for offensive cyber operations.
The basis for these developments goes back to the country’s Defence and National Security Review in 2017 and, which identified cyber as an area of priority, leading to the establishment of a Cyber Defence Command, to head the development of a doctrine in this area. The French strategy has been financed to the tune of six billion euros up to 2025, and the country’s defence ministry aims to have 4,000 operatives specialising in cyber-security by 2025. One of the most notable aspects of France’s cybersecurity and cyber-defence model, is that it has taken shape in a relatively short period of time, in under three years. On a civilian level, it provides a well-funded and state supported national resource, the National Cyber Security Agency. This Agency delivers an expertly led asset, to both the French business community and the French state itself, including the intelligence community and the military.
