Fabrizio Sossan, Stephan Kenzelmann and Luca Haab, with the support of Jan Huber,
had the pleasure of welcoming a talented group of computer science bachelor students
from the HEIA-FR to the Gridlab at the HES-SO//VS - School of Engineering.
Their mission was as clear as it was challenging: put the defences established with the RESINET project
and other initiatives through their paces.
The results were nothing short of brilliant. Approaching the lab as complete outsiders, the
students initially struggled to find any vulnerabilities or weaknesses when connecting from the
outside—an encouraging sign for the robustness of our external security measures, although
their time was limited.
However, the real excitement began when we granted them direct access to the internal network.
With fresh eyes and impressive ingenuity, they quickly uncovered several insightful findings.
Their ability to adapt, investigate, and provide constructive feedback—without any prior
knowledge of the lab—was a testament to their burgeoning skills and the value of hands-on
experience in cybersecurity.
