THE ESSENTIALS

Since September 18, 2025, LinkedIn has informed its European users that, starting November 3, 2025, some of their personal data and content may be used to train its generative AI models, unless they explicitly object. This policy was previously only in place for US users. I chose to disable this option to maintain control over my work data. This can be done in the Data Privacy menu, then under Data for Generative AI Improvement. 💡 A small action to protect your privacy, but

📍 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

Capgemini's acquisition of Cloud4C sends a strong signal to the managed cloud market. The challenge lies not only in strengthening technical capabilities, but above all in successfully integrating the organization and culture. My experience with international partners has shown me that when integrations are entrusted to teams in India, the methodological rigor is remarkable: precise procedures, structured execution, minimal margin of error. This is an undeniable strength. How

Restarting an information system after a cyberattack is never a simple technical exercise: it is a real race against time, where every hour lost translates into financial losses, halted production and unhappy customers. The incident affecting Jaguar Land Rover today clearly illustrates this reality. Behind the headlines, IT and cybersecurity teams are working tirelessly to safely restore critical systems so that production lines can restart. The impacts are multiple: immediat

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

Master's analysis Matthieu Pacaud The information on the Data Act is very enlightening. 📊 #Portability , use of customer data for #AI or the improvement of services: what was yesterday a matter of negotiation is now becoming a legal prerequisite for publishers #SaaS . 🔐 This text can be compared to the guarantee against eviction. ⚖️: In law, this is the obligation for a supplier to ensure their client's peaceful enjoyment of what they provide.

🔥 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
