ANSSI leads state cybersecurity and supports sensitive operators; CNIL oversees personal data and GDPR compliance. Their missions overlap without being identical.

The most practical risks
Phishing, identity fraud, ransomware and data leaks affect individuals, hospitals, councils and businesses. Attacks often begin with a reused password or a convincing message.
Habits that matter
Unique passwords, two-factor authentication, separate backups, updates and domain checks before payment reduce risk. Businesses also need a clear incident decision and communications plan.
