    As a cybersecurity expert at beta.gouv (DINUM), I contribute to strengthening the security of web products developed by French administrations. My role includes several key missions:

    - Conducting in-depth security audits, including architecture analysis, code reviews, and penetration tests (pentesting) to identify and fix critical vulnerabilities.
    - Supporting teams in setting up bug bounty programs, from conception to execution, ensuring rigorous follow-up of vulnerability reports.
    - Proactive vulnerability remediation, with practical and adapted recommendations to secure critical systems.
    - Raising awareness and training technical and non-technical teams on cybersecurity, through workshops on best practices and attack prevention (XSS, CSRF, SQL injections, IDOR, etc.).
    - Developing and deploying specialized tools for:
    - Moving Github repositories to "private"
    - Proactive vulnerability detection through automated scans integrated into CI/CD pipelines.
    - Tracking versions of software used "on premise"
