About

I lead partnership initiatives within the European, North American and Middle East cybersecurity ecosystem, focusing on shaping and executing partnership strategies across both regions and building long-term collaborations with government institutions, public agencies, industry associations, training providers, and private-sector partners.

My work involves identifying and developing strategic partnerships, representing the organization in institutional and ecosystem settings, and ensuring that collaborations are structured, purposeful, and aligned with broader business and growth objectives. I operate at the intersection of public and private sectors, navigating regulatory and institutional environments while maintaining trusted, senior-level relationships.

I work closely with executive leadership and internal teams to ensure partnerships translate into tangible outcomes - from ecosystem visibility and talent development to commercial and strategic impact. My focus is on clarity, continuity, and long-term value in complex, international settings.

We’ve opened a new group for Cyberr members who want to try Heelr Compliance and help shape the direction of the product.

Heelr checks a company’s domain and connected environments against various frameworks' requirements - you can start with a free check that takes a couple of minutes.

If you look after IT or security for clients or for your own organisation, join the group to share your feedback directly with our team!

Hackers set blood plasma freezers to 110°C. The weak point was a supplier.

Over the night of 1–2 November, attackers changed temperature setpoints on refrigeration equipment used by France’s blood service (EFS), from around −30°C to 110°C. They didn’t go through EFS directly. They went through its cooling maintenance provider, Coolworld. Frozen plasma meant for transfusions was among the stored products.

What stopped it wasn’t a security tool. An on-call technician saw temperatures rising and teams acted before operations were affected.

Our take at Cyberr:

🔹 Your suppliers’ remote access is your attack surface. Healthcare organisations fall under NIS2, which makes supply chain security an explicit obligation, not a nice-to-have.

🔹 Cyber risk in healthcare is no longer just about patient records. Freezers, HVAC and building controllers protect medical supplies, and many are still reachable from the internet. CERT-FR warned about compromised refrigeration controllers just weeks ago.

🔹 People are the last line of defence. Independent monitoring and trained staff made the difference here.

🔹 The skills gap is real. Professionals who understand both IT and operational technology are among the hardest profiles to find, and demand is only growing.

When did you last review who can remotely access your critical equipment?

Over the years, working with young ethical hackers, I’ve seen the same thing again and again, and again …

The skills are there. What’s often missing is the right support: someone a few years ahead who can answer the questions they’re afraid to ask, or a mentor who can help them see where they could go next.

I’m not a headhunter, but I still get messages like these all the time: “Where should I go next?” “How do I land my first role?” “Who should I talk to?” I try to help wherever I can, but one person’s inbox isn’t a system.

And it’s not only a junior problem. Experienced professionals have a lot to share, and employers want people they can trust.

That’s why we built Cyberr: one trusted network for the entire cybersecurity community, connecting emerging talent with experienced professionals, mentors, employers and training partners. But building a connected community takes more than a platform. It takes partnerships with people and organisations that share the same vision and are already working to strengthen the cybersecurity ecosystem.

So, what is the best way to celebrate #CyberSecurityAwarenessMonth?

Come out with excitement news: I’m especially proud to welcome our new partnership with ICTC-CTIC on board.

Together, we want to connect ICTC’s cybersecurity graduates, companies and members with Cyberr’s global community. We also want to make it easier for experts and mentors to share their knowledge across borders (because, cybersecurity has no borders) and build stronger connections between the Canadian and European cybersecurity ecosystems.

A big thank you to Anne M. Patterson and the entire ICTC team.

Dear Cyberr community,

When we started Cyberr, we had one goal: to build the dedicated networking platform for the cybersecurity industry. A place where defenders, researchers, leaders and newcomers can find each other, share what they know and grow their careers together, without the noise of that other platform we all know.

No humblebrags, no recycled motivational posts, no endless recruiter spam.

Just our industry, talking to itself.

We've come a long way, and that's because of all of you.

But a community is only as strong as the people in it, so today I have one ask of every member:

Invite 5 peers in cybersecurity to join Cyberr.

Think of the colleague you always turn to with a tough question, the former teammate you've lost touch with, or the person just breaking into the field who could use a real network. Every person you bring in makes Cyberr more valuable for them, for you and for everyone already here.

It takes less than a minute, and together it's the biggest thing we can do to shape what Cyberr becomes.

Thank you for being part of this from the start. We can't build it without you.

Laurent,

CEO, Cyberr

Cyberr Academy is live 🎓

Cybersecurity never stands still - and the skills to keep up have to move with it. That's the whole idea behind Cyberr Academy: one place to keep growing across cybersecurity, AI, cloud, data, and leadership.

We're launching with a set of self-paced AI security courses, and this is only the beginning - more learning across every one of those areas is on the way.

This launch is part of a bigger strategy. Cyberr is building the place where cybersecurity professionals connect, find work, and keep developing the skills their careers depend on - all in one ecosystem. Partnerships are central to that: by working with strong providers and experts, we can bring real depth and breadth to what our community can learn, and keep expanding it over time. The Academy is one important piece of that wider vision.

Most of all, huge credit to the team behind this: [profile:7d972edb-5084-42ce-97f1-185bf44e214f:Craig Maxwell] & tech team, [profile:cab0acb2-a591-450f-af16-7b375330b302:Samantha Swift] , [profile:9901bee7-f62c-4e97-bbae-03f7f55e86e2:Lara Borenovic], [profile:cf77a26d-b0e4-4406-b631-e42622e4a6f5:Laurent Halimi] . A launch like this is a lot of quiet, detailed work that most people never see - and it shows in the result. Thank you for the care and effort you put into building something our community will genuinely benefit from.

This is just the start. 🚀
