Yassir Kazar.

A passionate entrepreneur, I have been part of the cybersecurity ecosystem since 2005. My path took a decisive turn in 2015, when I founded the startup Yogosha, convinced that ethical hacking and the bug bounty model were one of the keys to protecting critical organisations for the long run. Since then, between television studios (France Info, BFM Business) and institutional settings (IHEDN, IHEMI), I have worked at turning the complexity of hybrid warfare and platform economics into levers for strategic decision-making. An invitation to rethink our autonomy in a hyperconnected world.

Passing knowledge on is a daily commitment: at IHEDN and IHEMI, where I analyse platform economics and the dynamics of hacker communities, as a mentor (Plug & Play, IME), and as patron of the Cyber Booster at Campus Cyber. Finally, I firmly believe in technology serving the common good: as vice-president of Hack4Values, I mobilise the best of the hacking community to protect, free of charge, those who save lives, from Médecins Sans Frontières to Amnesty International.

In recent years this work has shifted toward an older question: what does technique do to power relations? I teach it as a course, « Platformisation de la Cyber Sécurité : la conscience politique à l'épreuve de l'aliénation technologique », on political consciousness tested by technological alienation. It has produced two open-access works: the Fresco of Technology, six eras and thirty-one thinkers from Plato to Yuk Hui, and the Technological Empowerment Index, a framework for evaluating technologies across eight axes of power. Ellul, Heidegger, Simondon and Stiegler sit alongside the Mohists, Ibn Khaldūn, Frantz Fanon and Cheikh Anta Diop: thinking technique from Europe alone no longer suffices.
