A book, put into practice
Every action and every tool comes from the book “Être en cybersécurité — votre feuille de route cyber” (Éditions Spinelle). I put it online for free so it gets used, not so it gathers dust. (The book itself is in French.)
My belief: 90% of cybersecurity problems are solved by a few good habits, not by technical expertise. The book stays the full “why”: the context, the stories, the mindset.
94% of attacks come through email. 60% of people reuse the same password.The book page →
A manual built to be used.
The toolbox
83 real, proven tools, most of them open source and free. A page per tool, and track your migration.
The glossary
Cybersecurity jargon in plain words: 57 terms defined in one sentence.
Take it with you
The whole roadmap on one page — print, PDF or Excel.
Not paranoia, facts: one in two French people had their data leak in a single 2024 attack. And when the news gets involved — like Chat Control returning to the European Parliament — you’ll already know what to do. The Chat Control briefing →
Where to start? With the basics.
Ten actions are enough to stop the vast majority of real attacks. The rest is refinement.
