Cyberspace Center
Created in February 2021, the command of the gendarmerie in cyberspace reports directly to the director general of the national gendarmerie and has the mission of piloting, leading and leading the national gendarmerie system in the fight against cyber threats.
With a very high level of technical expertise, ComCyberGend is able to carry out investigations in all digital spaces, but also to develop new forensic methods of digital investigation. Having a staff and management at the central level which allows it effective strategic management, the ComCyberGend also relies on all the delocalized operational units such as: the CNTECH, the NTECH or even the branches of the C3N.
The evolution of digital technologies represents an issue of national sovereignty, ComCyberGend is also an issue in terms of innovation and scientific partnerships. By joining forces with the GIP ACYMA or Signal SPAM, the National Gendarmerie ensures that it does everything possible to avoid two pitfalls: technological delay and blinders towards external innovative threats.
Pôle Cyberespace
Créé en février 2021, le commandement de la gendarmerie dans le cyberespace relève directement du directeur général de la gendarmerie nationale et a pour mission de piloter, conduire et animer le dispositif de la gendarmerie nationale dans la lutte contre les cybermenaces.
Disposant d’un très haut niveau de technicité, le ComCyberGend est en mesure de réaliser des investigations dans l’ensemble des espaces numériques, mais également de développer de nouvelles méthodes criminalistiques d’investigation numérique. Disposant d’un état-major et d’une direction au niveau central qui lui permet un pilotage stratégique efficace, le ComCyberGend s’appuie également sur l’ensemble des unités opérationnelle délocalisées tels que : les CNTECH, les NTECH ou encore les antennes du C3N.
L’évolution des technologies en matière numérique représentant un enjeux de souveraineté nationale, le ComCyberGend est également un enjeux en matière d’innovation et de partenariats scientifiques. En s’association avec le GIP ACYMA ou encore Signal SPAM, la Gendarmerie nationale s’assure de mettre tous les moyens en œuvre pour éviter deux écueils : le retard technologique et des œillères sur les menaces innovantes externes.
France is a centralised country, not a federation. The country is the only state. So we don’t need institution like the FBI to deal with interstate case. But they are still the communication issue at the border of two different administrative area but no federal law or jurisdiction versus state law or juridiction.
That is very interesting. There are many notable issues that arise from having a state government that fights it out with the federal government. There seem to be ups and down of both systems. I never really gave it much thought before though, so it’s intriguing to learn about how France does things differently.

Being able to be impartial here makes it much easier to appreciate.
Having more or less resistance in government tilts much more positive or negative relative to how you feel the people in charge reflect what you agree with.
For example, California sets its own pollution standards for automobiles, and since they are such a huge market, essentially get to dictate national standards since car makers don’t want to build cars that they can’t sell there without making numerous changes. States with less strict emission rules and ones with car manufacturers try to get California’s rights to set those standards taken away by the federal government. They were granted the right to set these standards back when pollution there was very bad, and the state doesn’t want to see it fall back to that condition.
I’m all for advancing pollution reduction, so a state that can force something I’m in favor of seems like a positive advantage. I won’t go into any negatives ones since we’re getting pretty far off topic, but it works the other way just as well when a state wants to ban something for reasons that a large number of people really want.
Yes, that’s very interesting but we switch very quickly from owl to politics XD
The owl is an Illuminati symbol as well… 😉
Didn’t know. We weren’t so deep in our digression, I guess.
With something so fascinating as an owl, I’m sure near everyone has used it for a symbol at some point, so almost nothing is off topic if we relax the rules enough! 😆
