CybersecurityI can't listen to CISO podcasts anymoreYesterday I started one, I cut it off after eight minutes. I already knew everything. And the worst part is that I know exactly why it's like this, because I'm often on the other side of the mic, being a CISO myself.
CybersecurityMicrosoft held two opposite positions in a single week. That is the flaw.While the industry re-litigates responsible disclosure, a flaw that bypasses BitLocker is still sitting unpatched. And Microsoft, which wrote the rules of the game, just proved it only follows them when the mood takes it.
CybersecurityAI and chatbots tell you you're right. That's the worst service they can do you.Chatbots are built to tell you you're right. Researchers at MIT have shown that even a perfectly rational reasoner falls into the trap. When your job is to spot what's wrong, that's a problem.
CybersecurityYou have 29 minutes. You are already losing 20 of them. And Mythos is not the problemYou are a CISO. It is 9:14 on a Tuesday morning. Your SIEM has just flagged a lateral movement alert. Twenty minutes later, you launch your first containment action. The attacker, meanwhile, needed only 29 minutes to move across your network.
CybersecurityDelve: when compliance "in a few clicks" turns out to be hot airA 300-million-dollar startup accused of fabricating compliance certifications. Hundreds of companies potentially exposed. And a lesson the cybersecurity world stubbornly refuses to learn.
SocietyData breach at MédecinDirect: when digital health forgets what matters mostThe cyberattack that hit MédecinDirect, disclosed in early December, affects up to 323,000 patients. The number is already enormous. But that is not what should worry us the most.

CybersecurityFine for X, offensive against Telegram: Europe is waging war on digital freedomOn Friday 5 December 2025, the European Commission fined X, Elon Musk's platform, 120 million euros. On the surface: a simple slap on the wrist for failing to comply with the Digital Services Act (DSA). In reality?
CybersecurityThey refuse to pay a ransom... and fund cybersecurityCybersecurity: your company is paralyzed by a cyberattack. Stolen data, locked systems, a ransom demanded. Panic, stress, media pressure. A
CybersecurityBlack Friday, Christmas, Sales: Cybercriminals Are Waiting for YouEvery year, at the same time, the queues move to virtual carts. Promotions explode, ads flash, "must-have" deals multiply... and in the shadows, cybercriminals are rubbing their hands.
EconomyAI doesn't replace us, it weakens us... if we let itWhat if AI didn't make us stupid... but forced us to become smarter?EconomyAI in tourism: connected to everything... except the reality of the risks?For a few months now, we have been watching a rush toward generative AI in tourism. ChatGPT in customer service.
LeadershipIt's not a question of motivation. It's a question of decision.People often ask me how I manage so many things at once. Work, family, music, sport, talks, articles, public speaking, threat watch, reading, meetings, passing it on…, And the answer almost always disappoints…
CybersecurityTraining executives in cybersecurity? Fine. But not like this.Today, some top business schools pride themselves on adding a cybersecurity module to their management programmes. EM Lyon, HEC, ESCP: they have all understood that digital security is now a strategic subject. Good.
CybersecurityWhy French SMEs are still stuck in 1980 (and why that's partly their own fault)Let me be blunt: you can't ask cybersecurity to move forward if some companies refuse to leave the minitel behind. And that's exactly what we still see today in most French SMEs. Yes, threats are evolving.
EconomyBanking: the overdraft is no longer a safety valve. It is becoming a financial product.For decades, the bank overdraft was a kind of silent pact between the customer and the bank. A safety valve. A buffer between two due dates. Not an ideal solution, but a human reality: life does not wait for the date of the transfer.
EconomyAnother attack on family holding companies? How long are we going to keep flying blind?Once again, France is going after the people who build, pass things on and organise.
CybersecurityThe AWS incident: it was not an outage, it was a reality checkVenmo, Fortnite, Snapchat, Zoom, Coinbase... everything started to crash. Not because of ransomware, a large-scale attack or a geopolitical conflict.
