Algeria — Cyber Threat Profile
Algeria's 2026 strategy centers on digital sovereignty within its 2025–2030 roadmap. The Information Systems Security Agency (ASSI), under the Ministry of National Defense, has centralized the defense of critical state infrastructure. New regulations, including Presidential Decree No. 20-05, mandate Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) across all state agencies. Furthermore, the National Authority for the Protection of Personal Data (ANPDP) is enforcing compliance with Law No. 18-07, aligning data privacy standards with global norms. The government is prioritizing a Sovereign Cloud to reduce reliance on foreign providers, ensuring that sensitive national data remains under local control and protected from external cyber-espionage.- Data protection authority: Autorité nationale de protection des données à caractère personnel (ANPDP) (source: CNIL)
