Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolGeorges Bossert is a CTPO and seasoned cyber-security leader based in Rennes with over 15 years building teams, products, and tooling that make the Internet safer. He blends deep research credentials (PhD work that produced the open-source Netzob protocol reverse-engineering tool) with hands-on engineering—improving C extensions, build systems and portability in security-focused open-source projects. At SEKOIA.IO he progressed from Head of Upscaling to Chief Product Officer and now CTPO, driving product strategy and technical execution for threat detection and response. He has extensive experience in reverse engineering, vulnerability assessment and secure systems design across industries including aerospace and regulated online gaming. Georges also teaches intrusion detection at Université de Rennes I, keeping a foot in both academia and industry to translate research into practical security products. A detail-oriented pragmatist, he’s as comfortable addressing compiler warnings to harden code as he is shaping company-level security strategy.
