Depending on the news, the DGSI publishes issues of Flash Ingérence on its website, presenting actions of economic interference of which French companies are regularly victims. These actions are also applicable to the research and development activities carried out within our research laboratories, as well as to our academic relations with foreign establishments.

As part of the promotion of an internal safety culture, it is important to note that the last two issues of Flash Ingérence, published in April and May 2024, deal with :

Recommendations for preventing theft of sensitive equipment;
Foreign approaches or attempted approaches targeting employees of sensitive entities outside a professional context.

We also recommend that you consult issue no. 3 of Flash Ingérence of March 2022, which sets out the precautions to be taken when hosting foreign delegations, whether in the research or academic field. This issue is also available on the same website here.
