ANSSI - Asociatia Nationala pentru Securitatea Sistemelor Informatice Information

The National Association for Information Systems Security (ANSSI) has been established in 2012 to become a bridge between public and private sector, in order to promote best practice and enable a cultural change towards information security. ANSSI is a private, professional, independent and non-profit organisation. It unites 40 members, companies with around 20000 employees, representing 25% of the total number of employees in the private IT&C sector. Our members, due to the large diversity of technical and professional competencies and capabilities form a group that is representative for the entire sector, the group’s interests being the same as the overall sector’s interests. ANSSI has also organized, alone or together with other authorities, public institutions or embassies, several national and international conferences and events, in fields like: telecommunications, e-government and e-administration systems and solutions, UE funds, HR development, occupational standards, the technological and infrastructure security component being a common key issue. Nationwide, ANSSI has setup partnerships with organisations like the Ministry for Communications and Information Society, the Romanian National CSIRT - CERT.ro, the Bucharest Stock Exchange - BVB, the Romanian Banking Institute - IBR, the Financial Services Association - ALB, the CIO Council, the Romanian Association for Security Technique - ARTS, the Romanian Association for Promoting Critical Infrastructure and Services Protection - ARPIC and other, in order to ensure coherence with other fields that use IT&C infrastructure between the beneficiaries and the services provided (such as: energy, financial, Internet services) and to enable the transfer and adoption of internationally recognized best practices. ANSSI has already set-up partnerships and is preparing new ones with similar organisations from other countries – France, USA, Canada and other.
