Join us for the annual Applied Cybersecurity Week, "CyberFox," organized by the Department of Cryptography and Computer System Security at MEPhI. This event is held in collaboration with the Institute of Intelligent Cybernetic Systems at MEPhI and features participation from Kaspersky Lab.
Our goal is to promote practical aspects of cybersecurity. The lectures cover a diverse range of topics, including:
These sessions will be valuable for both beginners and seasoned professionals.
CyberFox Cybersecurity Week offers a unique opportunity to hear from renowned experts in the field. In 2025, the event takes on an international dimension, opening with a lecture by the esteemed cryptographer Karsten Nohl from SRLabs. The week will also feature lectures from leading professors of the University of Applied Sciences Western Switzerland (HES-SO), the Department of Computer and Information Security at RTU MIREA, the Department of Cryptography and Computer System Security at MEPhI, and leading experts from Kaspersky Lab.
Karsten has been challenging technology since 2010. As the Chief Scientist of SRLabs, he helped a hundred global clients and built a dozen security teams in Europe and Asia.
Karsten has spoken at all major security conferences. The research of his team discovered issues in critical infrastructure ranging from mobile networks and SIM cards to payment system take-overs and BadUSB.
Roland is a lecturer at the University of Applied Sciences Western Switzerland, teaching courses on networks, Java, cybersecurity, and fuzzing. He previously spent seven years as a security researcher with Kaspersky ICS CERT in Geneva, collaborating with the Moscow-based team. Roland co-founded Winsl0w.io, an educational cybersecurity initiative. He holds a master’s degree in legal aspects, cybercrime, and information security from the University of Lausanne, with a focus on mobile forensics.
Maria is a developer of KasperskyOS, specializing in fuzz testing for the kernel. Her past work includes developing an EDR system. She has a strong interest in low-level programming, fuzzing, and software reliability techniques.
Alexander is a principal security researcher at Kaspersky ICS CERT. With more than 10 years of experience in securing software-hardware solutions, he has worked with systems ranging from wearable tech to complex industrial setups. He also explores lightweight cryptography and the development of trusted hardware systems. Since 2016, he has taught at Bauman Moscow State Technical University, and since 2022 at MEPhI.
Sergey has over 20 years of experience in software and hardware development, as well as reverse engineering. He regularly shares his knowledge at conferences and lectures at MEPhI's Department of Cryptography and Computer System Security.
Ilya is a graduate of Bauman Moscow State Technical University’s Information Security Department (IU-8). He currently lectures at RTU MIREA’s Department of Computer and Information Security. His interests include electronics, circuit design, and low-level programming for security applications.
Ideal for security professionals and researchers working with hardware.
Having used both tools extensively, the speaker compares their features, transition hurdles, and personal takeaways — offering an honest look at what life is like after IDA.
