Cyber Security at ETH Risk Center
In an age of rising cyber threats and overlapping global disruptions, traditional risk management is no longer enough. As risks like cyberattacks on critical infrastructure grow, resilience becomes a strategic imperative for navigating uncertainty and driving long-term stability. At the department of Management, Technology, and Economics (MTEC) I initiated and contributed to the design of courses and materials focused on building cyber resilience—equipping organizations to anticipate, withstand, and recover from cyber threats.
