Open Port EventsWe have a variety of “Open Port” events during which renowned cyber security experts will come to ETH to discuss their field's current state with a small group of students.
In cyber security, an “Open Port” is an integral part of internet communication. Similarly, our Open Port events are there to communicate, connect and learn from each other. These events are an excellent opportunity for ETH students to gain an insight into the industry and public services. Additionally, in good ETH fashion, there will be an apero after most of our events. In particular circumstances, Open Ports are held virtually in highly interactive settings to the delight of speakers and students alike.
Critical infrastructure like energy grids, manufacturing plants, and transportation networks are increasingly exposed to sophisticated cyber threats as digitisation accelerates. The convergence of IT and OT creates new efficiencies - and new vulnerabilities. Join us for an eye-opening session with a special guest from Switzerland National Cyber Security Center (NCSC) exploring real-world cyber intrusions targeting operational technology (OT). We’ll dive into the unique challenges system operators face and examine how governments and industries are working together to protect critical infrastructure from these evolving threats.
Do you have valuable insights in current cyber security topics and want to share them with a small group of students? We are always looking for cyber security experts who will take a speaker's role at our events. As a speaker you will benefit from an interested and engaged audience.
Get in touch with us! We will be delighted to discuss with you how to bring your cyber experience to ETH.
Is there a cyber spy among us?
Step into the world of cyber defense and track down an unknown threat in a high-stakes incident response simulation. Work with cutting-edge technology and industry experts to unravel the mystery and stop the breach before it’s too late.
This is more than just a challenge—it’s a consulting simulation, where you'll team up to investigate a cyber incident, analyze evidence, and present your findings like real cyber security consultants.
What’s in it for you?
🔹 Hands-on experience with real-world cyber security challenges
🔹 A chance to work with Eraneos specialists and cutting-edge tools
🔹 A unique glimpse into the life of a cyber security consultant
If you're a student interested in cyber security consulting, this is your chance to step into the role, collaborate with a team, and put your skills to the test.
Join us for "Cyber Security Governance in Global Operations", a unique event with Huawei Switzerland exploring best practices in managing risk and compliance within global organizations. Designed for students eager to see the bigger picture, this session goes beyond technical details to focus on strategic insights and governance challenges in cybersecurity. You will gain valuable knowledge to understand how top organizations navigate complex security landscapes.
We invite you to an exclusive workshop to explore the role of Large Language Models (LLMs) in cybersecurity, where you'll collaborate with industry experts from Julius Baer to address key challenges in applying LLMs to cybersecurity standards, regulations, and policies while evaluating their potential to support architects, information security officers, and application owners in meeting evolving regulatory demands.
In this interactive workshop, you'll delve into the world of LLMs and discover how these advanced language models can be leveraged to enhance compliance and risk management within the financial services sector. You'll work alongside experienced professionals to assess the capabilities and limitations of LLMs in addressing specific pain points related to regulatory compliance, such as data protection, anti-money laundering, and more. By working together, we'll develop creative solutions to overcome these challenges and unlock the full potential of LLMs in enhancing our collective cybersecurity posture.
By joining this workshop, you'll gain:
Cybersecurity might look scary, complex, and even magical. In a sense, it is! Join our workshop to learn how to protect yourself in your daily life and how to move your first steps in cybersecurity.
In this workshop, we will bring our experience and guide you through the world of cybersecurity. You will learn how to protect yourself by using MFA to secure your login, by using strong passwords that you don't have to remember and by recognizing malicious texts or emails.
One thing is protecting, the other is attacking. In fact, we will give you a glimpse on the cyber world from the point of view of a hacker: what information they can learn about you and how they find it.
Curious? Our workshop is open to everybody without previous knowledge in cybersecurity or IT! Register, bring you smartphone and take the first step to protect yourself from cyber risks.
Join our workshop to explore the role of AI in Cyber Security! Saskia and Prof. Laskov will guide us through the three faces of AI in network attack detection. We will start from how AI can find applications in cyber security, we'll explore the security of AI itself and finally dive into the use of AI for Offensive Security.
