It was one of THE most mentally stimulating conferences I have been to, a top shelf kind of conference for cybersecurity. […] This is highly recommended cyber security conference, for all the right reasons.
Closing keynote of #SwissCyberStorm: WAFs and Log4Shell by John Graham-Cumming, CTO of Cloudflare. Apparently 9 min from public disclosure to first exploitation attempt. An amazing example of real-world detector evasion on an actual incident.
Starting busy at the 10th Swiss Cyber Storm! Delighted to be the gold sponsor of such a prestigious event!
Some top notch speakers at the 10th #SwissCyberStorm conference in Bern. Thanks to all the staff and specially @Folini [Christian Folini] for that day
#SwissCyberStorm ist, wenn du dich zuerst mit @nohillside [Patrick Seemann] unterhältst, dann @evawolfangel [Eva Wolfangel] dazu kommt und das Gespräch einen ganz anderen Zug nimmt ;-) Danke, @Folini [Christian Folini] :-)
Translation: Swiss Cyber Storm is when you start chatting with @nohillside [Patrick Seemann], then @evawolfangel [Eva Wolfangel] joins in and the conversation takes a completely different turn ;-) Thanks, @Folini [Christian Folini] :-)
The conference was great fun, finally a in-person conference with many interesting talks.
Now that was a keynote. #SwissCyberStorm #scs23 started very well, great keynote by Eva Galperin!
I was also thrilled that many presentations were given by women. It was inspiring to see how women play an important role in the cybersecurity industry.
Ending ceremony of Swiss Cyber Storm. I got honored experience and thank you so much for invited me. See you next! :) @swisscyberstorm [Swiss Cyber Storm] @ChrFolini [Christian Folini]
After a great keynote by @evacide [Eva Galperin] an at least as great sponsor note by David Jacoby. #SwissCyberstorm #SCS23
Are we sure that Bern isn’t AI generated?
Spannende Vorträge am #swisscyberstorm zum #HumanFactor.
Translation: Exciting talks on the human factor at Swiss Cyber Storm.
I found the SSVC talk (Vuln Mgmt in the Age of AI) the one which might have the strongest impact on my work, the Senate talk the one that resonated most, this one ⬇️ the one which will help me structure my thoughts most, the Shadow Traffic talk the one which got my mind to look for solutions, and the final one the most thought-provoking.
Behold, @evacide [Eva Galperin] showing the mastery to squeeze a 45min presentation into a 25min slot on the Swiss Cyberstorm conference with some magical lossless compression. Great keynote that woke me up better than coffee 😋 #SCS23
Listening to @evacide [Eva Galperin] of @eff [Electronic Frontier Foundation] at #scs23 Such a privilege!
First #SCS23 Swiss Cyber Storm for me. Already met @adfichter.bsky.social [Adrienne Fichter] @jorgo.bsky.social [Jorgo Ananiadis] and many more looking forward to great talks
Numerous visitors, interesting conversations, inspiring talks, relaxed networking - and two lucky winners.
So far, some nice and interesting talks about #ShadowIT at #SCS2026 in Bern. Let's go for the afternoon talks now! #infosec
Ganz toll auch dieses Bild aus dem Vortrag von Hannes Lubich (er hat das Original selbst geschossen, kann es aber nicht mehr finden und hat es daher mit GenAI rekonstruiert): Drei RSA-Hardwaretoken für drei verschiedene Kunden werden von einer Webcam gefilmt, so dass alle jederzeit via WebCam Zugriff auf den zweiten Faktor haben … #SCS2026
Translation: Another great one is this picture from Hannes Lubich's talk: three RSA hardware tokens for three different customers, filmed by a webcam so that everyone has access to the second factor via webcam at any time …

Swiss Cyber Storm runs the Swiss Hacking Challenge to identify and support young cyber talent in Switzerland. From an individual online qualifier to a team-based national final, the best players are selected for the Swiss team at the European Cyber Security Challenge and other international competitions.

The AI Village started at Swiss Cyber Storm 2025 as a hands-on space for artificial intelligence in cyber security and has since grown into a standalone spin-off event. It brings together researchers, academia and industry around two themes: using AI to strengthen security and securing AI itself, with talks, workshops, CTF challenges and poster sessions.
