But what is it all about?
In the digital age, data security is a major issue. In this context, this book aims to understand the challenges faced by cybersecurity professionals and the legal risks to which they may be exposed, as well as to explore potential solutions to ensure the security of professionals, businesses, and our data.
 

On March 25, in the prestigious setting of the National Assembly, the Cyber Excellence Center had the honor of launching the book *Ethical Hacking and Digital Sovereignty: The New Players in Cybersecurity*.

Cybersecurity professionals are now essential to test the robustness and reliability of our infrastructure, in order to minimize the risks of cyberattacks and data breaches. This book examines the various categories that make up this profession. It analyzes the legislation governing these practices while highlighting the gray areas it may sometimes contain, and proposes solutions to address them.
Thus, “ethical hackers,” penetration testers, cybersecurity researchers, “bug bounty” hunters, “red team” members, and cybercriminals are examined in detail to understand how this complex ecosystem operates, draw conclusions, and propose a legal framework that better aligns with these professionals’ practices.
