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!
