We are a cybersecurity training organization based in Occitanie
We are a training organization specialized in developing a human-centered cybersecurity culture and strengthening the security posture at all levels of the organization.
Why the Cyber Leader Institute?
We observed three recurring challenges in the Cybersecurity field :
A threat landscape that accelerates relentlessly in a hyper-digital era
A field struggling to structure itself and professionalize at the pace required
A view of cybersecurity reduced to its technical aspects, overlooking its true strategic and cross-functional role across organizations
Our response
- Placing people at the center of corporate cybersecurity strategy by providing the tools and expertise needed to adopt a robust and tailored security posture
The Team behind Cyber Leader Institute
The Cyber Leader Institute is governed by two seasoned security experts.
They are supported by a team of trainers, all active professionals and recognized authorities in their respective areas of expertise.
