Kilian Petit

Cybersecurity Expert | OSINT/CTI Analyst

About me custom-line

Expertise in cybersecurity and digital investigation

Cybersecurity expert with 5 years of operational experience, specialised in OSINT, Cyber Threat Intelligence and vulnerability management. Currently an analyst within a healthcare-sector VOC/CERT, I monitor threats, qualify vulnerabilities and build automated intelligence-gathering tools to make analysis work faster and more reliable.

Outside of work, I'm an active CTF competitor (multiple Top 1, 2, 3 rankings in French-speaking OSINT competitions) and I volunteer with associations that search for missing persons. I love sharing, documenting and passing on what I do — whether through investigations, write-ups or content anyone can understand.

Community involvement

Volunteer with associations searching for missing persons, and an active member of francophone cybersecurity and OSINT communities — daily monitoring, exchanges and collective contributions.

About TraceLabs: unlike the other CTFs in this table, TraceLabs' Search Party is not a fictional challenge — it's a real, collective OSINT investigation to help locate actually missing persons. The format, ethics and stakes are therefore different from a typical CTF.
