Cybersecurity UW 

We code. We protect. We hack.



Cybersecurity UW (CSEC) is a student run organization that allows its members to learn and explore cybersecurity in a collaborative environment.
We cover all kinds of topics in cybersecurity, from research to online safety, to the latest tools and talks from experts in the field. Our meetings consist of a mix of workshops, guest speakers, and CTFs! A log of all of our meetings and what we covered are available in our meetings tab.

🙌 We are open to everyone.

  • Having experience with programming and Linux will help with some activities in the club, but is not required!
  • We enable cybersecurity enthusiasts to collaborate on research, discovery, and learning.
  • We teach cybersecurity beginners how to use ethical hacking programs and other cybersecurity relevant tools!

Look for us at the spring and fall org fairs on campus! We are also happy to have you join us in the middle of the semester. You can contact us via email at csec@ischool.wisc.edu, and we will add you to our email list and the discord server. All communication from the club will come either through the email list, or through the discord server.
