About Nicolas

Cybersecurity & Active Directory Expert
Cybersecurity specialist with over 20 years of experience, I help companies protect and secure their IT infrastructures, with expertise in vulnerability detection and management, deployment of security tools, and advanced administration of Active Directory.

**EDR Deployment and Management**: From participating in calls for tenders to the complete management of endpoint security solutions, I oversee threat assessment, security patch implementation, and advanced incident analysis.

**Vulnerability Management**: Security audits, assessment of potential weaknesses, and support for teams to secure all critical systems.

**Patch Management and Endpoint Protection**: Development and management of security policies aimed at protecting networks and systems against emerging threats.

**Active Directory Mastery**:

AD Administration and Migration: From domain controller management to the redesign and migration of Active Directory, I design robust and secure infrastructures for complex enterprise environments.

**GPO and WSUS Management**: Implementation of group policies (GPO) to optimize system security, and patch management via WSUS to ensure Windows environments are up-to-date.
