THE ESSENTIALS

The scenario is well-rehearsed: I receive a #SMS "From the delivery driver" informing me that a package could not be delivered. A photo of a truck full of boxes was included to support this claim for credibility. 🪝 The catch? The SMS arrives at the exact moment I receive an Amazon delivery notification. My reflex: 1️⃣ Immediate suspicion 🫥: Never click on the link in the SMS. 2️⃣ Source verification: Opening the official Amazon app. 3️⃣ Proof by image: My packag

The BFMTV article confirms the release of Dark Sword, a tool that makes iOS hacking accessible without any technical expertise. The message is clear: update all your equipment (mobiles, servers and workstations) immediately. An unpatched endpoint is an open backdoor into your entire enterprise infrastructure. My approach: Faced with the democratization of these threats, my role as an external CIO is to structure your defense: 👉 Audit & Hygiene: Proactive identification of we

The answer is simple: "Are you 100% sure that you (or one of your colleagues) will never click on a fraudulent link?" Every day, 2 billion fraudulent emails are sent worldwide. Technology filters the vast majority, but zero risk does not exist. The attacker is no longer trying to force your reinforced door; he is waiting to be opened from the inside. Cybersecurity is not just a collection of software. It's a chain of vigilance where humans are the first line of defense... or

The ZDNet article confirms a massive vulnerability in the FICOBA database. For an executive or CIO, the usual advice ("change your passwords") represents the bare minimum level of protection. Faced with the threat of SEPA direct debit fraud, we must move from a reactive mode to a total control mode. Here are my 3 priority recommendations for securing your company's cash flow: 1️⃣ The EBICS TS (Transport and Signature) protocol: This is the "standard" for banking security. Unl

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 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.

📍 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

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

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

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
