Women in Security and Privacy (WISP) had great fun attending Black Hat USA 2016, and DEF CON 24, where we had the opportunity to promote diversity, announce our Founding Sponsors and new initiatives, drive awareness of our mission, add to our community, and fund raise.
Hacking for Security
On June 21st, Women in Security and Privacy (WISP) partnered with Security Innovation, Inc. (SI) and the Wikimedia Foundation to put on a fun, educational “find the vulnerabilities” game. The “Hackathon” was a technical workshop on web application security, with a hands-on approach geared at teaching effective website security and secure coding habits to WISP members.
