Major General Emmanuel Naëgelen has been officially named Commander of Cyber Defense (COMCYBER) at the staff of the French Armed Forces. He succeeds General Aymeric Bonnemaison, who held this post from 2022 to 2025.
The former Deputy Director General of ANSSI, since January 2021, is well acquainted with “the house,” having led its operations division between 2018 and 2020.
COMCYBER oversees cyber defense operations (offensive, defensive and influence) under the authority of the Ministry of the Armed Forces. Leading roughly 3,600 cyber soldiers, civilians and military personnel, General Naëgelen will face several challenges: modernizing COMCYBER’s capabilities, strengthening the cyber defense posture of the armed forces, and coordinating operational actions in a landscape of expanding digital threats.
