Career/ Job Hunting

Speaker: Ryan Thompson

This event is setup to be more of an open form to help anyone interested in breaking into the field or move into a different role and is typically an open conversation. These sessions typically focus on resume review, interview tips, and general job hunting strategies. Even if you are not interested in finding that new role today, your input may be useful to someone else who is on the hunt!

WTF’s a CTF?

Speaker: Penelope Rozhkova

The speaker will explain what a CTF is and what it is not.

Attendees will have the opportunity to tap into a couple of entry-level CTFs and try out the open-source tool CyberChef – the Cyber Swiss Army Knife.
