Bruno Valentin is set to assume leadership of Monaco’s national cybersecurity agency next month, the government announced on Friday.

Having previously served as deputy director of the Monaco Cybersecurity Agency (AMSN), Valentin will take over the role on February 4th. His promotion follows the departure of Frédéric Fautrier, who is moving to head the principality’s Interior Department.

The government acknowledged Fautrier’s contribution, noting that he joined the AMSN when it was established in 2015 and had led the organisation since August 2021.

Valentin brings nearly three decades of experience in combating cybercrime and securing digital systems across both public and private sectors. He joined the AMSN in late 2016 and has since played a key role in shaping its operational strategy.

Officials said his background will prove valuable as Monaco confronts the same digital security challenges facing other wealthy nations. Cyberattacks and online crime now threaten organisations across every industry.

The agency, established to protect the principality’s digital infrastructure, works closely with businesses and public institutions to help them defend against ever-evolving cyber threats.
