Events
Turning Bugs into Strengths | CyberSec 5.0 by IEEE
CS SL Chapter
July 02, 2025
What if a bug isn’t just a problem, but a chance to
improve security? CyberSec 5.0 proved exactly that
on July 2, 2025, when the IEEE Computer Society Sri
Lanka Chapter and IEEE Sri Lanka Cybersecurity Group
hosted an inspiring Zoom session at 7:30 PM. Mr.
Samitha Madhusanka (Senior Security Consultant at
EY) guided the audience through practical talks and
live demonstrations, showing how penetration
testing, the practice of deliberately probing
systems for vulnerabilities, helps reveal hidden
weaknesses before actual attackers find them. This
hands on approach turned traditional “bugs” into
valuable “features” that make digital systems
stronger and safer.
The event explored a wide range of topics, including the latest AI-driven cyber threats that are changing how hackers operate, as well as modern attack techniques used to bypass defenses. Participants, from students to experienced IT professionals, learned how to recognise these threats and apply better defense strategies. By spotlighting penetration testing and discussing real-world scenarios, CyberSec 5.0 raised awareness about the continuous need for vigilance and innovation in cybersecurity. The session empowered participants with practical knowledge to help protect organizations, critical infrastructure, and personal data across the country, strengthening Sri Lanka’s position in the global digital security arena.

IEEE ComSoc SL Chapter
July 03, 2025
What’s next for the security of future mobile
networks? On July 03, 2025, the IEEE Communications
Society Sri Lanka Chapter hosted an eye-opening
session on OpenRAN Security Issues and Future Trends
for Distributed Ledger Applications (DLA) that
captured the attention of Sri Lanka’s tech
community. This event explored how OpenRAN, an
emerging, flexible way to build mobile networks,
brings both exciting opportunities and new security
challenges.
Led by experts, including Dr. Pasika Ranaweera, an Assistant Professor from University College Dublin, attendees discovered real-world vulnerabilities within OpenRAN architectures and how blockchain-inspired DLA technologies are pioneering stronger telecom security. Through clear, insightful talks and engaging discussions, participants learned about the latest developments and practical defenses shaping the future of secure communications in Sri Lanka. This session sparked fresh ideas and awareness, highlighting the vital role of innovation in protecting next-generation networks.
