WHY CyberSaR?
Social responsibility is central to our group. We aim for impactful theory and practice to address real societal challenges, making cyberspace more Secure, Resilient, and Safe. While publishing is essential (and we do it actively), we’re equally passionate about running our ideas in production—through PoCs, MVPs, and startups.
