CISO. I assess what threatens information systems, I contain it, and I explain how. The rest comes from the field: engagements, incidents, and personal research.

Profile

Who I am

I started working in IT in the early 2000s and security never let go of me since. I learned early how to assess the risks weighing on an information system, and how to contain them.

Client work and personal research both feed that practice, and keep it moving.

What I do

Audits
Penetration testing and passive audits.
IT management
Estate administration, migrations, standardisation.
Threat watch
Public scene as well as underground. No source gets snubbed: the point is to stay one step ahead.
Awareness
Seminars, technical write-ups and tutorials, plus plain-language versions for everyone else.

Languages

Spoken
French, English, Arabic.
Hobbies
Reading and writing. Fencing. Hunting for new attack vectors.
