Work Background
RS BedardAuthor, Cybersecurity and Technology
Jul. 2023Montreal, Quebec, CanadaI have had the opportunity to write public article since the beginning of my association with #CScience in 2021. This introduction also lead me to write articles in the #TorontoStar. In the summer of 2023, I started writing my own book: "SECURE by Design: A leader's guide to keeping cybercriminals out of your business", allowing me to coach executives on their liability and to accompany them into taking cybersecurity in their own hands. As the guiding light to their employees, they have to take initial steps, to inspire their troops, and eventually, create a SECURE culture. The book is release as of September 2024 in its French edition. As of March 2025, the english version SECURE by Design, will be available through Amazon and various outlets. Thanks to my editor, Rethink Press.
