PRESS RELEASE

The Action on Cybercrime public interest group (GIP ACYMA), represented by Director General Jérôme Notin, and the Monaco Cyber Security Agency (AMSN), represented by Director Frédéric Fautrier, signed a cybercrime cooperation programme on 14 November 2024. The programme, aimed at individuals and businesses, includes activities to prevent and raise awareness of cybercrime, as well as assistance for victims of cybercrime.

Drawing on its experience since the launch of its cybercrime platform, cybermalveillance.gouv.fr, in 2017, GIP ACYMA will provide AMSN with software developments and the ExpertCyber certification standard, which was created with the French Standards Association (AFNOR), so that it can be adapted in line with Monegasque law.

This assistance with technology and standards will enable the Principality to speed up development of a national scheme to help victims of cybercrime. The scheme, which will be available free of charge to individuals, businesses and associations, is designed to:

  • Put victims of cybercrime in contact with listed local professionals in the Principality
  • Raise awareness among those using digital technology of the challenges involved in protecting digital privacy
  • Create a digital risk observatory in the Principality

This unique scheme will be managed by a public-private partnership involving representatives from the Government, users, suppliers and solution and service providers.

Cybermalveillance.gouv.fr is the platform of the Action on Cybercrime public interest group (GIP ACYMA).
