Cyber Campuses Adopt a Common Charter

The Cyber Campus network has endorsed a common Charter a few months after the joint action plan adopted at the start of 2026.

Signed by the directors of the national and regional Cyber Campuses, the Charter is supported by ANSSI, Cybermalveillance.gouv.fr, and the Regions that have labeled Cyber Campuses. It formalizes the network’s missions, its cooperation principles, and its long‑term commitments.

A Territorial Link in the National Strategy

The Cyber Campuses present themselves as local conduits to bridge national strategy with the regional roadmaps. They commit to five axes:

  • Carry the voice of the field : with ANSSI and Cybermalveillance.gouv.fr, contribute to designing national schemes tailored to the realities on the ground.
  • Anticipate NIS 2 : cross‑referencing public data has allowed mapping of actors potentially covered by the regulation. These tools, open to all, provide a first shared knowledge base to build bespoke support.
  • Expand awareness : public‑private partnerships multiply touchpoints, notably through itinerant actions, to ensure that guidance is accessible to everyone.
  • Facilitate access to the cyber offer for SMEs : the network connects supply and demand through clear pathways, to help leaders who are often overwhelmed by a crowded and hard‑to‑read market.
  • Equip local providers : by promoting sovereign solutions, the Cyber Campuses support nearby cybersecurity providers and deepen their on‑the‑ground understanding.

For Vincent Strubel, the director general of ANSSI, the National Strategy poses the challenge of the “last mile,” i.e., reaching organizations and citizens with the least maturity. In the push to generalize good digital hygiene practices, the Cyber Campuses are, in his view, crucial for offering accessible services to businesses and local authorities across the country.

Jérôme Tré-Hardy, regional councillor for Brittany, representative of the Regions College of the Cyber Campus and president of Bretagne Cyber Alliance, believes the Charter formalizes very concrete actions, some of which are already underway by the group. He also argues that it recognizes the role of territories in the cybersecurity “last mile” and establishes a momentum of regional actors committed to serving the national strategy.
