Start with our core guides
Each guide walks through a single threat or habit end to end: what it looks like, why it works on people, and the concrete steps to protect yourself and your team. Begin with phishing awareness and password management — the two areas where small changes prevent the most damage. From there, explore social engineering, two-factor authentication, remote work security, and how to spot scam emails.

Why trust Pulsos
Pulsos is an independent editorial project focused solely on security awareness for a French audience of professionals and enthusiasts. We write in plain language, avoid fear-mongering and hollow statistics, and update guidance as threats and tactics evolve. Every explainer is grounded in how attacks actually work and the practical defences that hold up in real workplaces. Our goal is simple: help you make safer choices without needing a technical background.
Do I need a technical background to use Pulsos?
No. Our guides are written for people at every level, from newcomers learning the basics to experienced staff responsible for keeping colleagues safe. We explain the reasoning behind each recommendation in everyday terms.
What is security awareness, exactly?
Security awareness is the set of habits and judgement that help you recognise and avoid common threats — like clicking a fake link, reusing a password, or being talked into sharing information. It's about people and behaviour, not just software.
Which topic should I start with?
Most people benefit most from phishing awareness and password management first, since those two areas account for a large share of everyday incidents. After that, two-factor authentication is a quick, high-impact step.
Is this guidance relevant to teams, not just individuals?
Yes. Our checklists and explainers are designed so you can apply them yourself or share them with colleagues. They're especially useful if you're the person others turn to for security questions.
How often is the content updated?
Attacker tactics change over time, so we review and refresh our explainers and checklists to keep the advice current and practical rather than outdated.
Does Pulsos sell software or collect my data?
Pulsos is an editorial resource. We don't run forms or capture leads on this site — our focus is on providing clear, useful guidance you can act on independently.
