We have been sending out the same feedback survey for several years now. This allows to get some consistency in reporting and allows for an internal discussion on a sound base. This is vital, since people tend to tell us they loved the conference, but then they vote with their feet and we do not see them at future editions anymore.

We’re happy to announce, that all of our SwissCyberStorm 2021 talks are now online on our YouTube channel.

After every Swiss Cyber Storm, we are sending the exactly same feedback form to all our paying attendees. We pay attention to send the same question, so we can compare the scores across different years. In this blog post, we’re sharing the feedback for the first time with you.

We ran last year’s Swiss Cyber Storm under the motto “Embracing the Hackers”. One of the topics we covered was Bug Bounty Programs. A BBP is often seen as a standard element of a comprehensive application security program. But they are also mostly unheard of in Switzerland.

Believe it or not, but back in December, we decided to make E-Health our focus theme for Swiss Cyber Storm 2020. So when the Covid-19 crisis slowly approached, we padded our shoulders and thought that our gut feeling had been right on target again.

This is a contributed guest post by Florian Badertscher from Swisscom’s bug bounty program. We are publishing it here on the Cyber Storm blog because it brings information valuable to companies planning a bug bounty program of their own.

Swiss Cyber Storm 2019 will run under the motto “Embracing the Hackers”. We have presented and explained this overall theme for our conference in a separate blog post in Spring. Now it is time to present you our lineup for our conference on October 15. This is the 2nd of two blog posts about our speakers. The first one is here.

Engaging in Penetration Testers to gauge the security of existing online services has become a standard practice in our industry in Switzerland. Established services and new offerings are tested alike in order to uncover hidden bugs or to raise awareness of security problems that often go unnoticed with management or developers.
