Cisco is at the forefront of security against quantum cyber threats, but not immune to vulnerabilities.
Recent events perfectly illustrate this paradox. On the one hand, the deployment in Switzerland of a "quantum-safe" network with ID Quantique demonstrates that Cisco remains a cutting-edge technology leader. On the other hand, serious warnings about sophisticated cyberattacks serve as a reminder that even the best equipment has its vulnerabilities. 🔍 My feedback: Throughout my career as an IT Director, I have often chosen to limit the number of Cisco devices within our infra

The cost of under-investing in cybersecurity – €22.75 million 💰💰💰
The cost of recovery from the cyberattack on high schools in Hauts-de-France: €22.75 million 💰💰💰 Let’s be clear: which private company could absorb such an expense just to get back on its feet? ❌❌❌ None ❌❌❌ Only “Enterprise France” survives, supported by public funds. For an SME or mid-sized company, €22.75M means certain bankruptcy. Investment in preventive cybersecurity is not a cost center. It is the only insurance policy that guarantees the continuity of your business.

Cybersecurity Conference - 1 year later...
📍 Spring 2024, Chantilly Golf Course . Facing an audience of executives, I began my presentation on digital transformation with a shock tactic: 💥 330,000 successful cyberattacks in France in 2022. 7% of SMEs affected… but an average cost of €130,000 to recover. An already alarming figure, but this was only the tip of the iceberg. ⏩ One year later, in 2025, the situation had worsened: 💸 €466,000: average cost for a micro-enterprise/SME after an attack. 💼 €13 million

An outsourced CIO who acts like a member of the team… and a trusted partner 🤝
When I get involved in a company, I don't stay on the sidelines. I sit down at the table, immerse myself in the culture, and act as if I were a full-fledged member of the team 🤝 Trust is at the heart of this approach. Because on a daily basis, I have access to what the company holds most sensitive: its data, its strategic projects, its vision. Without confidentiality and loyalty, it's impossible to build a strong and lasting collaboration 🔒✨ And this logic also extends to m

Microsoft admits: "I cannot guarantee that European 🇪🇺 data will never be transferred to the U.S. government 🇺🇸."
During a Senate hearing, Anton CARNIAUX, Legal Director of Microsoft France, acknowledged a reality often downplayed: the Cloud Act applies even to data hosted in European datacenters . 👉 If the parent company is American, U.S. law prevails . ⚖️ Why this matters:The Cloud Act allows U.S. authorities to request data held by any American provider, even if stored outside the United States . ✅ Practical solutions, even for SMEs: 🔹 Data Privacy Framework (DPF) (since 2023) gove

🚨 Cybersecurity: Europe strengthens its digital sovereignty with the EUVD 🇪🇺
ENISA has launched the EUVD (European Vulnerability Database), a European database dedicated to vulnerabilities. This is an important step towards greater autonomy and responsiveness to cyber threats. 💬 My opinion: I'm following this type of development closely, especially for the systems installed at my clients' sites. Having an up-to-date European database allows me to be even more responsive in identifying and patching at-risk equipment. A real operational advantage. 🔍 A
