A serial veteran of several startups, Fabrice Epelboin started his career in the early nineties and contributed to the emergence of “web agencies” before focusing on social media and cyber security in the 2000s. He subsequently became a journalist and launched a variety of online media platforms before immersing himself in the startup world once again, with the launch of a bug bounty platform called Yogosha in 2015, combining hackers, the sharing economy, crowdsourcing and information security. He has now been working with his team for over a year and he has adapted this concept, which is well-established in the United States, to a European market that has recently taken the initiative in respect of hard-hitting information security challenges following the NIS Cyber Directive. He teaches applied geopolitics in the context of cybersecurity and contemporary internet culture at the Sciences Po social studies university in his masters’ degree classes in Paris, as well as at the International College.
