He chose IT-Gnosis for his 5-day discovery internship - 5 days during which he discovered the ins and outs of computer security. But young people like Olivier are the future of this market. Throughout this week, Olivier was able to discover life in a company and to become familiar with cybersecurity. under different aspects: business development, communication, business management.
