A first look at this year’s speakers

We are pleased to announce the following speakers for Swiss Cyber Storm 2025:

• Camino Kavanagh is THE expert on subsea cables. She is currently a Senior Fellow at King’s College London and became known to a wider audience with her 2023 UNIDIR report “Wading in Murky Waters”, which addresses the fragility of our deep-sea infrastructure and how we can make global connectivity more resilient.
  
• Michael Hausding is a member of Switch CERT and a board member of FIRST.org, the global forum of incident response and security teams. As a well-known DNS expert, he is familiar with all forms of domain abuse and the complexity of the regulation and technology surrounding the system. He will explain the risks for the Internet in Switzerland and abroad if the USA were to exert direct influence on the system.
  
• Carlos Ishimaru is a young Brazilian threat intelligence analyst and researcher specializing in reverse engineering, HUMINT, and anonymization. He recently made a name for himself by reporting inside information from ransomware gangs he joined as an affiliate.

More speakers will be announced in the coming weeks.

Mark Barwinski, our opening keynote speaker, has already been announced. But today we are thrilled to present a new article by Mark on our blog. He weighs in on the SignalGate leak and shares first-hand accounts of OPSEC issues from his time at the NSA. He covers several examples and offers strong advice for realistic OPSEC practices in 2025. You can read the article exclusively here on our blog.
