Who we are

MANSEC is Anthony Coke and Maxime Chantemargue, two cybersecurity engineers based in French-speaking Switzerland.

We're tired of fear-mongering, incomprehensible content. This blog is everything we wish our friends and family already knew — no jargon, no headache.

Our mission

Cybersecurity is a complex and fast-moving subject. Most online content is either incomprehensible to non-specialists, or packed with alarmist marketing. We launched this blog to change that.

Our goal: explain things simply and bring as many people as possible up to speed on good security practices. VPN, phishing, passwords, public Wi-Fi — everything you should know to stay protected every day, without turning it into a lecture.

Our conviction: "Security through knowledge." Security comes first and foremost from understanding, not from yet another miracle product. If you know what you're protecting and what you're protecting it from, you make the right decisions.

Who is this for?

Non-specialists who want to understand what's going on under the hood — you, your friends, your grandparents. Colleagues from other fields (devs, sysadmins, HR, legal) who deal with security without making it their core focus. And us, as a notebook to formalise what we explain on a regular basis.

Talks & conferences

We regularly speak at community events in Switzerland. See the full list on the Talks page.
