The Team
My name is Christophe Foulon, and I am passionate about supporting small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs). To broaden my impact, I have become a Virtual Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) consultant. I have a proven track record of transforming and overseeing information security strategies and operations across various industries, including financial services, computer and network security, cybersecurity, IT consulting, higher education, nonprofits, healthcare, and banking.I bring over 15 years of experience as a vCISO, information security manager, adjunct professor, author, and cybersecurity strategist. I am enthusiastic about customer service, process improvement, and information security. I've also spent over ten years leading, coaching, and mentoring others.As a security practitioner, I'm focused on helping businesses address their cybersecurity risks while minimizing friction, which results in increased resilience and helps secure people and processes with a solid understanding of the underlying technology. I give back by producing a podcast, “Breaking into Cybersecurity” focused on assisting people in transitioning into the cybersecurity industry by sharing the stories of those who have made the leap in the past five years to inspire those looking to do it now. I've also co-authored “Develop Your Cybersecurity Career Path: How to Break into Cybersecurity at Any Level” and “Hack the Cybersecurity Interview: A Complete Interview Preparation Guide for Jumpstarting Your Cybersecurity Career”.Christophe holds a Master of Science in Information Technology, Information Assurance, and Cybersecurity, a graduate certificate in Information Systems, and a bachelor's degree in Business Administration/Information Systems from Walden University.
