Olivier JACQ is an independent researcher, professional, and consultant in maritime cybersecurity.

He created this blog in 2018, convinced of the importance of taking cybersecurity into account in the maritime sector, in order to share his views on the subject.

Passionate about cybersecurity and networking, he wrote his first lines of code in 1985, on a TRS-80 and then on a ZX Spectrum.

After a scientific baccalaureate (bac C), he joined the French Navy, where he pursued a 28-year career. He held various positions in information security from 1999 onwards, with a focus on CISO roles, but also on training, certification, digital forensics and cyber surveillance, research, and education. He notably took part in the creation of the Specialized Master’s program “Cybersecurity of Maritime and Port Systems.” He spent a total of three years of his life at sea, on, above, and below the water.
