THE ESSENTIALS

I don't have a Gmail account, but for my personal Google account, I took this precaution and changed my password as soon as the alert was issued. Thanks to unique passwords for each of my sites, managed via a password manager, and two-factor authentication, the incident was quickly closed. Even for an expert, cybersecurity starts with simple but essential actions. #Cybersecurity #PasswordManagement #CIO #DigitalTransformation #ComputerSecurity https://lnkd.in/eVPn

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

🔥 A cyberattack often costs more than a fire… However, many companies still do not have a detector. ⚠️ Leaders: your mission is to grow your business, not to hunt down cyber threats. Every hour spent managing IT security is an hour less for your growth. 💡 The solution: entrust this mission to an outsourced CIO. Here is an example of how to secure your equipment: 💻EDR – Endpoint Detection & Response Monitors and protects every workstation and server. Detects abnormal behavi

Thank you to Jérôme Allassonnière for sharing. #WinRAR has just been the victim of a critical security vulnerability (CVE-2025-8088) exploited by the Russian group RomCom. Typically, we are right in the middle of the #ShadowIT I don't know of any IT department that officially authorizes its use. This vulnerability allows malware to be installed via infected files. Upgrading to version 7.13 is imperative… and manual. Shadow IT is not just a compliance issue, it

Data breaches can affect anyone, and it's not just a matter of IBAN theft. The CNIL (French Data Protection Authority) has published a comprehensive guide covering all scenarios: how to detect a breach, protect your information, react to phishing or identity theft, and much more. 📌 Monitor your accounts and permissions 📌 Beware of phishing and identity theft attempts 📌 Strengthen your passwords and enable multi-factor authentication 📌 Report any anomalies promptly to your

🌱 A few years ago, I conducted an in-depth study on Ecosia . I was struck by its strong vision and sincere environmental values… but one major drawback: its dependence on the Bing search engine, which limited its strategic reach. Today, Ecosia (🇩🇪) partners with Qwant (🇫🇷) the French search engine, to launch together STAAN, an independent search index presented as a European alternative to Google. 🤝 The partnership with Qwant opens up a new perspective:

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

➡️ Yet another example that illustrates why the governance of file sharing tools must remain in the hands of the IT department. I have always insisted: data sharing outside the company should never be done via unvalidated tools. This case is emblematic. Yes, WeTransfer claims that its AI is used solely for moderation… but the wording of their Terms of Service remains vague. And this is not the first warning: in June 2019, a security incident allowed third parties to access fi

Notary offices are prime targets for cybercriminals. And for good reason: they handle highly sensitive data daily—real estate transactions, wills, marriage contracts, company statutes, etc. Valuable information that attracts all kinds of covetous eyes. THE High Council of Notaries - Notaries of France (CSN) understands this well: it imposes a strict security framework through technical and organizational rules which, as an IT director, seem to me both coherent and neces

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

Imagine: 🚗 Car accident – You are unconscious, but rescuers can instantly access your medical history through your Medical Record on your smartphone. 🏥 Serious fall – Your phone detects the impact and automatically alerts emergency services, sharing your location and vital information. ⏳ Every second counts in an emergency. Yet few people take the time to configure this feature, which is free and accessible to everyone. 🔹 How to configure your Medical Record? 📱 iPhone (iO

Cyberattacks on smartphones are constantly increasing. A recent attack via WhatsApp allowed hackers to infiltrate devices using sophisticated spyware. This type of attack, known as a "clickless" attack, compromises a phone without the user needing to interact with a link or attachment. The threat is therefore invisible and very difficult to detect. 👉 What particularly interests me: 1️⃣ Applications like WhatsApp, often used without the knowledge of company IT departments,

It's a fact: today, if your IT system doesn't meet strict security criteria, you could simply be deemed "uninsurable for cyber risks." This raises two crucial questions: 1️⃣ What is the maturity level of your IT security? A cyber insurance application can become an unofficial audit of your system. Insurers require robust security measures before agreeing to cover risks. If you are uninsurable, it reveals weaknesses that can expose you to enormous risks. 2️⃣ Is your company re

Microsoft announces the integration of Copilot AI into Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook, even for Microsoft 365 Personal and Family subscriptions.

Many small and medium-sized enterprises (SM

📅 October 14, 2025: a date to mark in your calendars. On that day, Microsoft will end support for Windows 10 and certain versions of Office. What does this mean in concrete terms? 👉 More security updates. 👉 Increased risks from cyberattacks. 👉 Declining performance and reliability for your essential tools. 🔐 Windows 11: an investment in your security In addition to being more secure, Windows 11 offers better compatibility with the latest technologies.
