(TR22) (INCYBER) The challenge of public-private partnerships at local level

Attacks on local authorities are on the rise, with damaging consequences for essential services such as managing public records and distributing social benefits. It is therefore striking to discover that, in 2022, only 29% of local authorities with between 3,500 and 10,000 inhabitants had an Information Systems Security Officer (ISSO). A proactive response to this growing—and primarily local—threat has emerged with the creation of Cyber Campuses and Computer Security Incident Response Teams (CSIRTs) at the regional level. However, the adoption of these regional CSIRTs varies considerably from one region to another. How should collaboration between the national Cybermalveillance service, the regional Cyber Campuses and the various CSIRTs be structured? Is it possible to pool resources to help smaller communities benefit from the expertise and financial resources of larger organizations? How should local authorities adapt to NIS 2 requirements? How can we help them choose the most effective and trustworthy technological solutions and service providers, while bearing in mind their specific constraints?
