The French National Agency for Information Systems Security (ANSSI) has assisted 945 public entities over four years under the France Relance plan, a €100 million program to strengthen digital protection for vulnerable public structures.
Key Statistics:
- 707 territorial communities
- 134 healthcare institutions
- 87 public establishments
- 17 research and higher education centers
The average cybersecurity maturity score improved from D+ to B!
- 197 service providers mobilized nationwide
- €40M allocated for European solutions, including €33M for French cybersecurity
This initiative leaves a lasting legacy with adapted tools and methods, especially ahead of the NIS 2 Directive.

You Should Know:
Essential Cybersecurity Commands & Practices
Linux Security Tools
1. Nmap (Network Scanning)
nmap -sV -A target_ip
Scans for open ports and services.
2. Lynis (Security Auditing)
sudo lynis audit system
Checks system vulnerabilities.
3. Fail2Ban (Brute-Force Protection)
sudo fail2ban-client status sshd
Monitors SSH login attempts.
4. ClamAV (Malware Detection)
sudo clamscan -r /home
Scans for malware in directories.
Windows Security Commands
1. Check Open Ports
netstat -ano
2. Enable Firewall Logging
Set-NetFirewallProfile -LogAllowed True
3. Check for Suspicious Processes
Get-Process | Where-Object { $_.CPU -gt 90 }
Network Security Best Practices
- Enable MFA for all critical systems.
- Patch Management:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
- Log Monitoring: Use SIEM tools like Wazuh or Splunk.
Prediction:
With NIS 2 Directive approaching, EU-wide cybersecurity regulations will tighten, requiring stricter compliance for critical infrastructure. Expect increased demand for SOC analysts and automated threat detection.
What Undercode Say:
“Public sector cybersecurity maturity is improving, but continuous monitoring and incident response drills remain critical. Use automated hardening scripts and regular audits to maintain compliance. The shift from D+ to B shows progress, but ransomware and phishing remain top threats.”
Expected Output:
- ANSSI’s report highlights France’s cybersecurity resilience.
- Key tools:
Nmap,Lynis,Fail2Ban. - Windows hardening:
netstat,firewall logging. - Future: NIS 2 compliance, SOC expansion.
