In his new role, Gueguen will oversee the development and implementation of security policies and contribute to integrating advanced security solutions. Laurent Métayer has been named Commercial and Partnership Director for Magellan Sécurité, focusing on expanding the company's market reach and solidifying strategic alliances with technology providers.

In addition, Guénolé Leost has been appointed Group Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) for Magellan Partners. Leost will be responsible for the overall security posture of the group's IT infrastructure and will also advise on client projects related to system security.
