Using an unordered list, summarize the following article with between 4 and 8 key points. This week, Health-ISAC\u00ae\u2018s Hacking Healthcare\u00ae\u00a0examines a new national cybersecurity strategy published by a leading European state. While the U.S. National Cybersecurity Strategy is lagging behind its originally anticipated early January release date, although we hear it should be released soon, last week, France published their National Cybersecurity Strategy 2026\u20132030 as part of their National Strategic Review.[i]\u00a0This week,\u00a0Hacking Healthcare\u00a0examines the strategy for policies likely to affect the health sector.

\nWelcome back to Hacking Healthcare\u00ae\u00a0!
\nFrance Releases New National Cybersecurity Strategy\u00a0
\nOverview
\nOn January 29, the General Secretariat for Defence and National Security (SGDSN) published France\u2019s National Cybersecurity Strategy 2026\u20132030.[i]\u00a0The strategy is described as \u201cextend[ing] the ambitions of the National Strategic Review\u201d and \u201cset[ting]France\u2019s trajectory to becoming a leading cyber nation.\u201d[ii]
\nThe 36-page document leads with a foreword from French President Emmanuel Macron, who reiterates the increasing criticality of cybersecurity to national security and economic prosperity and briefly highlights values and objectives that are expanded upon in the document as the five pillars on which the strategy is based. The opening of the document emphasizes the importance of the digital domain by saying, \u201cCybersecurity has become a prerequisite for freedom. A vital requirement. A strategic imperative.\u201d[iii]
\nThe Five Pillars\u00a0
\nOf the 36 pages in the strategy, only about 20 contain substantive language addressing the five pillars that frame it. As such, the document provides a high-level overview more than a comprehensive breakdown of how France plans to operationalize its many objectives. However, there is enough detail in each section to understand the broad direction and approach the Macron administration intends to pursue.
\nThe five pillars are:[iv]<\/p>\n

Pillar 1\u00a0Making France The Largest Pool Of Cyber Talent In Europe:\u00a0Interestingly, France explicitly identifies the cyber workforce shortage as among its most pressing issues to solve. It even goes so far as to say that France\u2019s ability to develop and attract cybersecurity talent is essential and that \u201cthis ambition is the priority focus of this strategy.\u201d[v]\u00a0The three objectives tied to this pillar are:\u00a0Develop an inclusive culture of cybersecurity from an early age;\u00a0Invest in all areas of cybersecurity training; and\u00a0Support the development of cyber human resources at the European level.
\nPillar 2 Strengthening The Nation\u2019s Cyber Resilience:\u00a0Recognizing the increasing risk of cyber threats across all sectors, the strategy calls for \u201can ambitious plan to raise the overall level of cybersecurity across the entire economic and social fabric\u2026\u201d.[vi]\u00a0Furthermore, it stresses that their plan will \u201cbe based on enhanced synergy between the State, local authorities, businesses, research stakeholders and civil society.\u201d[vii]\u00a0The three objectives tied to this pillar are:\u00a0Prepare the nation for crises caused by cyberattacks;\u00a0Raise the overall level of cyber protection for the nation; and\u00a0Facilitate the path to better cybersecurity.
\nPillar 3 Halting The Expansion Of Cyber Threats:\u00a0The growth of cyber threats has not gone unnoticed by France, and this pillar outlines the government\u2019s desire to \u201cmobilise all the levers at its disposal to significantly increase the financial, human and reputational cost for potential adversaries who could harm its economy, the stability of its democracy, or the security of property and people on its territory, and to discourage them from attacking France and its partners.\u201d[viii]\u00a0The two objectives of this pillar are:\u00a0Activate all levers to deter cyberattacks; and\u00a0Mobilize private-sector players in the cyber defence of the nation.
\nPillar 4 Maintaining Control Over The Security Of Our Digital Foundations:\u00a0Alluding to the notion of sovereignty that is present in President Macron\u2019s foreword, this pillar outlines France\u2019s ambition to \u201c[control] its technological dependencies and [maintain] its autonomy of judgement and freedom of action in cyberspace.\u201d[ix]\u00a0The three objectives of this pillar are:\u00a0Invest in the security of digital technologies;\u00a0Support the structuring of a European market for cybersecurity products and services; and\u00a0Control technological dependencies in the field of digital security.
\nPillar 5 Supporting The Security And Stability Of Cyberspace In Europe And Internationally:\u00a0The final pillar recognizes the importance of engaging the broader political and cybersecurity ecosystem to inform intangibles like values and norms alongside more tangible technical and financial assistance. The three objectives that make up this pillar are:\u00a0Promote an international framework and governance guaranteeing the security and stability of cyberspace;\u00a0Act as an ally and a cooperative, reliable partner within an international cyber community of interest; and\u00a0Develop cyber-solidarity capabilities.<\/p>\n

More detail on each of these pillars and objectives can be found in the full document, and we encourage you to assess them yourself to better understand their context.
