Who Are We?

Founded in 2019, Cyber Group is a student-run initiative which aims to bring the topic of cybersecurity to ETH students and build awareness of the interconnectivity of cybersecurity across all disciplines.

We strive to create a network between students, academia, industry and the public sector and facilitate discussion and collaboration for enthusiastic students that are eager to learn.

Our Board

I mean, there's no arguing. There is no anything. There is no beating around the bush. 'You're fired' is a very strong term.

I first learned about Cyber Group through the Open Port events and got intrigued by the ideas presented there. This led me to get to know Cyber Group a bit more, joined the Cyber 9/12 Challenge and the rest is history. Now, as a board member and task force leader of the Open Port events, my goal is to bring students like me and you closer to real projects and ideas circulating in industry and academia.

Iyán Méndez Veiga

I discovered Cyber Group and the Open Ports just after starting my studies at ETH. Since then, I have enjoyed participating in the 2023 Cyber 9/12 Challenge, learning from people with totally different backgrounds but the same passion for cybersecurity, and also discussing with experts in the field. This year, as a board member, I want to help other ETH students by organizing the best possible training for the next Cyber 9/12 Strategy Challenge.

Nobody gets hacking better than me, folks. I mean, I've got the best firewalls. They're huge. They're like walls, but for the internet. And you know how good I am with walls.

Experts come from any background, what it really takes is passion and devotion; with these two, anyone could land a job in cybersecurity. If you are reading this, you probably are curious and have a eye for details. That's useful too. And what about connections? Well, for that, there's ETH Cyber Group.
