Online safety
Alongside my work in digital forensic expertise and cybersecurity, I run awareness sessions and training courses for adults, parents, children and organisations, to explain digital risks, the habits that need a framework and the right reflexes to adopt.
Cybersecurity is not only about companies and information systems. It is also about everyday habits: fraudulent emails, fake websites, data exposure, social media, messaging apps, online games, risky behaviour and manipulation.
Awareness work makes it possible to act upstream, before the incident, the conflict or the harm occurs.
The aim is not to alarm people or to dramatise, but to make the risks understandable and the right behaviours easy to adopt.
This focus on teaching, clarity and explanation is consistent with my positioning: making a technical subject readable and usable by non-specialists.
I work in particular with children of around 10, using language suited to their age, to what they actually do online and to their understanding of the digital world.
Parents need simple ways of making sense of it all, so they can support their children online without falling back on restriction alone.
These sessions can fit into local work on prevention, digital inclusion support, parenting support or cyber awareness.
Recognising a suspicious email, an alarming message, an unusual request, a fake website or an attempt at manipulation.
Understanding what you expose online, why that data has value, and why the internet keeps a lasting trace of what has been published.
Identifying how bullying and cyberbullying work, recognising a situation that keeps repeating, understanding how to react.
Reputation, sharing images, over-exposure, peer pressure, unsuitable content, careless interactions and losing control over how far something spreads.
Talking with strangers, settings worth checking, the part parents play in supporting their children and the value of clear ground rules rather than an outright ban.
Checking a piece of information, cross-referencing sources, taking a step back from what circulates, not automatically believing what you see online.
The same message does not reach an adult, a parent and a child in the same way. The level of vocabulary, the examples and the way the risks are presented are adjusted to the audience in the room.
Core principles
Technology has its place: parental controls, privacy settings, app configuration, updates, basic digital hygiene.
But effective prevention also rests on conversation, support and an understanding of what people actually do online. That is precisely the point around which my sessions are built.
A structured format for a local council, a school, a non-profit organisation, a parents' group or any organisation wanting to reach a wide audience.
More direct exchanges, questions and answers, real cases, role-play, with the content adapted to the audience and the setting.
A format focused on one specific subject: cyberbullying, social media, online games, digital identity, scams, data protection.
Training sessions are built around simple objectives: understanding the risks, recognising suspicious situations and knowing which reflexes to apply in everyday digital life.
The content can include examples of fraudulent emails, fake messages, privacy settings, exposure scenarios or situations encountered on social media and in online games.
Depending on the need, a session can come with a summary handout, a list of warning signs to watch for or a recap of the good habits to keep after the session.
