Cyber surveillance: Syntec numérique, founding member of GIP ACYMA

GIP ACYMA’s mission is to assist victims of cyber-malicious acts by putting them in touch with local service providers via an online platform, to conduct awareness-raising operations and to create a threat observatory. The target audience includes individuals, businesses and local authorities who are not currently addressed by the French national agency for information systems security (ANSSI).

At this first General Meeting, the French government, represented by ANSSI, the Ministries of the Economy and Finance, Justice and the Interior, as well as the Secretary of State for Industry, the Digital Economy and Innovation, and the members of the private sector colleges, including Syntec numérique, unanimously decided to elect Guillaume Poupard as Chairman of the General Meeting and the Board of Directors, and to appoint Jérôme Notin as Managing Director, on the proposal of the French government. The provisional budget and annual business plan were also approved.
