Afnic partners with Cyber Campus

Bringing together as it does the domain’s main French and international players, the Cyber Campus is destined to become the emblematic cybersecurity venue.

The Cyber Campus project, launched by the French president, allows companies large and small, State departments, training institutions, researchers and associations all to be accommodated at the same site, in the La Défense business district to the west of Paris.

Beyond this operational site, the Cyber Campus is first and foremost a project aimed at promoting dialogue and sharing among all the various stakeholders in digital security, with actions designed to bring together the cybersecurity community and develop synergies among its various players.

So far more than 170 entities, from a range of business sectors, have confirmed their commitment.

As the body responsible for the hardware and software infrastructure behind French domain name operations and declared an essential service operator, Afnic rigorously oversees and ensures the stability and security of the Internet in France.

Security and innovation are at the heart of Afnic’s commitments: security is a priority in order to improve and strengthen data protection measures in all processes and particularly the security of the DNS protocol, for users, registrar clients, services, applications and all resources connected to the Internet.

Afnic will actively support this collaborative platform to share its know-how and communicate more closely and easily with the .fr ecosystem in order to raise awareness of the security issues to which Afnic gives particular attention in its work: abuse of the DNS (domain name system) and security of Internet infrastructures.

Afnic is excited about becoming actively involved in this collective project that brings together the cybersecurity community in a dynamic of excellence and digital sovereignty.
