About Quentin

Former pentester specialized in Red Team, I have focused my offensive expertise on securing Active Directory environments, whether on-premise or hybrid (Cloud).

I work on technical AD audits, post-compromise reconstruction, and hardening of sensitive infrastructures. My support extends to the implementation of recommendations: segmentation via authentication silos, secure bastion, AD/ADCS hardening, etc.

With a resolutely offensive approach, I transform identified vulnerabilities into resilience levers, for sustainable environments against internal threats.
