The Princely Government commits to combating cybermalice

The Public Interest Group “Action against Cybermalice” (GIP ACYMA) and the Monegasque Agency for Digital Security (AMSN), represented respectively by the Director General of GIP ACYMA, Mr. Jérôme NOTIN, and the Director of AMSN, Mr. Frédéric FAUTRIER, signed on November 14, 2024, a cooperation program in the areas of awareness, prevention, and assistance to victims of cybermalice acts for individuals and businesses.
Building on its experience since the launch of its platform cybermalveillance.gouv.fr in 2017, GIP ACYMA will make available to AMSN software developments, as well as the “ExpertCyber” certification framework developed with Afnor (French Association for Standardization), to adapt it to Monegasque law.
This technological and normative contribution will allow the Principality to accelerate the development of a national assistance system for victims of cyber malice acts.
This system, which will be available free of charge to individuals, businesses, and associations, has the following objectives:

• connect victims of cyber malice acts with locally referenced professionals in the Principality;
• raise awareness among digital users about the challenges of digital privacy protection;
• create a digital risk observatory in the Principality.

This original system will be managed through a public-private partnership bringing together representatives from the Administration, users, service providers, and solution providers.
