Michel Fotsing is a cybersecurity and AI architect, and a consultant at the Ministry of Cybersecurity and Digital Affairs (Quebec), where he works on securing OT environments and structuring cybersecurity strategies aligned with the NIST CSF 2.0 framework. A member of the ISC2 Examination Review Board (CISSP), he contributes to the development of international cybersecurity standards.
