About the author

Welcome to my blog — a space where cybersecurity meets the human element. I’m Jean-Christoph (call me just "Jean"), a passionate Cybersecurity Consultant, psychological advisor, and dedicated advocate for Security Awareness.

My Story

My journey into cybersecurity has been as diverse as the challenges the field presents. From earning highly regarded certifications like CISSP, Security+, and Network+, to proving my broad skill set with Project+, ITIL Foundation, Scrum Master, and Scrum Product Owner, I’ve always sought to combine technical expertise with a holistic approach to security. Completing my Bachelor’s degree in Cybersecurity is the icing on the cake, symbolizing my commitment to lifelong learning.

My perspective on cybersecurity is deeply rooted in my belief that technology alone can’t secure us — it’s people who make the difference. With my training as a psychological advisor and coach, I’ve developed a unique ability to connect with individuals, build awareness, and foster meaningful change in how organizations approach security.

A Defining Experience

One of the pivotal moments in my career came when I was part of the Incident Response team during a severe cyberattack on a former employer. As a team lead, I played a key role in recovering and rebuilding the organization’s IT landscape, turning crisis into an opportunity for resilience. This firsthand experience shaped my understanding of the real-world impacts of cybersecurity and the critical importance of preparedness, collaboration, and leadership. I want to support other organizations in being well-prepared for such situations and resilient enough to overcome them as effectively as possible.

My Mission

This blog is my way of sharing knowledge, sparking discussions, and building a community around the human side of cybersecurity. My primary focus lies in Security Awareness — helping individuals and organizations recognize that the strongest defenses begin with informed and engaged people.

In addition, I explore emerging topics, such as the role of AI in cybersecurity, and provide practical tools for staying ahead of evolving threats. To make this journey accessible for everyone, I’ve created a glossary of over 100 cybersecurity terms, decoding the field’s many abbreviations and jargon.
