MonAideCyber – ANSSI’s Initiative To Help SMEs Combat Cyber Threats

In May 2025, cybersecurity consultant Melvin Fernandez announced his commitment as an Aidant Cyber under the ANSSI (Agence nationale de la sécurité des systèmes d’information) program MonAideCyber. This initiative aims to assist small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in France facing cyber threats, often without dedicated security teams or budgets.

Key Objectives of MonAideCyber:

Assisting SMEs in managing cyber incidents.
Providing on-ground support during crises.
Guiding businesses toward best practices and public resources.

You Should Know: Essential Cybersecurity Practices for SMEs

1. Basic Linux Security Commands

Check open ports:
```
sudo netstat -tuln 
```
Monitor active connections:
```
sudo ss -s 
```
Check for suspicious processes:
```
ps aux | grep -i "suspicious" 
```

2. Windows Security Checks

List active network connections:
```
netstat -ano 
```
Scan for malware using Windows Defender:
```
Start-MpScan -ScanType FullScan 
```

3. Incident Response Steps

1. Isolate the affected system.

Log all activities (journalctl -xe on Linux / `Get-EventLog -LogName Security` on Windows).
Report to authorities like ANSSI or local CERT.

4. Secure Backups (Linux Example)

tar -czvf /backup/company_data_$(date +%F).tar.gz /var/www/

Encrypt backup:

gpg -c company_data.tar.gz

What Undercode Say

Cybersecurity must be democratized—especially for SMEs that lack resources. The MonAideCyber program is a crucial step in bridging this gap. To further protect your business:
– Enable automatic updates (sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y).
– Use firewalls (ufw enable / netsh advfirewall set allprofiles state on).
– Train employees on phishing (grep -r "password" /var/log/ to check logs).

Prediction

As cyberattacks against SMEs rise, programs like MonAideCyber will expand globally, with more governments adopting similar support frameworks.

Expected Output:

A structured guide combining ANSSI’s initiative with actionable cybersecurity steps for SMEs.
