Smart cities, undersea cables, risks to the DNS, ransomware, GovCERT, software bills of materials, independent cyber threat intelligence, metrics, and the CyberPeace Institute are just a few of the topics our speakers will address at Swiss Cyber Storm 2025. Some of these topics are part of our focus topic – Resilience in a Mad, Mad World – while others focus on additional relevant security topics.

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

The following is a post by Mark Barwinski, the opening keynote speaker for Swiss Cyber Storm 2025. Mark has over 20 years of cybersecurity leadership experience spanning financial services, professional consulting, manufacturing, and government intelligence. In this blog post, he shares first-hand experiences of OPSEC failures from his time at the NSA, and offers strong advice for realistic OPSEC practices in 2025. By publishing this article for the first time, Swiss Cyber Storm hopes to provide a basis for further discussion.

Since the US election, the whole world seems to be descending into chaos.

We’re a bit late with the conference feedback for Swiss Cyber Storm 2024, but I don’t want to launch 2025 without a proper and transparent review.

We had a very successful 10th edition of Swiss Cyber Storm. Shortly after the conference ended, we sent out the feedback forms and received 43 responses, which is 10-15 % return rate, which is in line with previous years. We send more or less the same questions every year, so we get consistent responses and we can identify trends and compare the individual editions. We also included two questions on the catering for the first time.

Prepare for an amazing keynote at our anniversary Swiss Cyber Storm conference on October 24! We are very happy to announce that Eva Galperin, a renowned advocate for privacy rights and a leading voice in the battle against big tech, will be starting our conference. As Director of Cybersecurity at the Electronic Frontier Foundation, Eva brings years of experience defending our privacy and an intriguing focus on fighting stalkerware. Her talk offers a fresh perspective on the security industry and what’s at stake these days.

The conference program for Swiss Cyber Storm 2023 is now online – albeit with some spaces to fill in. The schedule will be completed in the next few weeks. Stay tuned for the announcement of more amazing talks on hot cybersecurity topics by selected international experts.

This year, Swiss Cyber Storm celebrate its anniversary: On October 24 in the Kursaal Bern, the tenth edition of the Swiss Cyber Storm conference will take place since the founding of the independent supporting association. The first conference of this name was held in Rapperswil back in 2010, but at that time still under the umbrella of Compass Security.

Swiss Cyber Storm has been around for more than a decade. And if we look at the positive feedback we are getting from our audience and from our sponsors, we are doing something right.
