Summary
Rayane Annen is a Security Software Engineer based in Neuchâtel, Switzerland with nine years of experience focused on network engineering, distributed systems, cryptography, malware research, and hardware security. Currently at CYSEC, Rayane progressed from developing ARCA‑SATCOM VPN software to a broader security engineering role, blending hands-on secure software development with satellite communications expertise. He holds a BSc in Computer Science and Communication Systems with an IT security major from HEIG‑VD and completed advanced mathematics coursework at EPFL, underpinning a strong theoretical foundation. Practical pentesting and audit experience—gained during a security audit engagement—complements his development background, enabling him to both find vulnerabilities and ship mitigations. Colleagues describe him as curious and methodical, often bridging low-level hardware insights with network-level protections to harden complex systems.
