About me
Larissa Naber holds a PhD in Technical Sciences from TU Vienna and has spent the past two decades navigating the shifting terrain of cybersecurity—starting in e-Government, advancing through public health IT, and ultimately specializing in the high-stakes world of medical device security.
Along the way, she developed a deep technical fluency in system design, cloud architecture, and the art of securing things that really shouldn’t be hacked—from insulin pumps to national registries.
As co-founder and Head of Security at PROREGIA, she now helps medical device manufacturers tame the cybersecurity chaos with Security-as-a-Service that’s both rigorous and regulator-ready.
When not designing security architectures, she lectures on the intersection of innovation and regulation at the University of Bern’s SITEM Institute—proving that teaching and threat modeling are not mutually exclusive hobbies.
