Bio: Half human, half Gen-AI.

Location: I’m actually in your RAM.

I’m a French-born security architect with over 15 years of international experience helping organisations secure and modernise their Microsoft cloud environments.

My work sits at the crossroads of Modern Management and Security. I focus on:

  • Endpoint & device management with Microsoft Intune and Windows
  • Identity & access with Microsoft Entra
  • Threat protection & XDR/SIEM with Microsoft Defender XDR and Microsoft Sentinel
  • Data protection & compliance with Microsoft Purview
  • The broader Microsoft 365 and Azure security ecosystem

I’ve worked across sectors such as defence, justice, finance, transport and sports, always with a strong emphasis on real-world outcomes, governance, and operationalising security with customers and partners.

I deliberately stay hands-on while keeping a broad view of IT and cloud. I enjoy designing end-to-end architectures — from endpoint and identity through to data, monitoring and response — and I’m equally comfortable deep-diving with engineers or translating complex risk into clear decisions for executives.

Cyrus Academy Banner

Under the Cyrus Academy banner, I share what I learn with the community and with future generations of Microsoft professionals.

On my channels, I explore:

  • Modern Workplace & Intune for endpoint and application management
  • Entra & identity security for Zero Trust foundations
  • Defender XDR & Sentinel for detection and response
  • Cloud and data protection with Purview with Microsoft security tools end to end

My goal is to make advanced scenarios practical, opinionated, and field-tested so that others can accelerate their own journeys with Microsoft technologies.
