The Loi de Programmation Militaire and Cyber Provisions

France’s strategic approach to cybersecurity is substantially shaped by successive Lois de Programmation Militaire, which establish multi-year defence and national security spending priorities including cybersecurity capabilities. The LPM 2019–2025 (Law No. 2018-607 of 13 July 2018) allocated approximately €1.6 billion for cybersecurity, funding the expansion of the Agence Nationale de la Sécurité des Systèmes d’Information, the establishment of a military cyber defence organisation (COMCYBER), and the development of offensive and defensive cyber capabilities. The LPM 2024–2030 (Law No. 2023-703 of 1 August 2023) increased cybersecurity funding to €4 billion over the period, with emphasis on artificial intelligence-driven threat detection, quantum-resistant cryptography, and the protection of national critical infrastructure against state-sponsored cyber operations. The LPM framework operates in conjunction with the national cybersecurity strategy, the Stratégie Nationale de la Cybersécurité, which articulates four strategic priorities: ensuring the security of critical infrastructure, building sovereign technological capabilities, strengthening cyber defence and deterrence, and developing cybersecurity skills and awareness across French society.
