Security is a collaborative process. We begin each audit by working closely with clients to define the scope and gather key resources, then apply our comprehensive process to help secure their digital assets. Learn more about our approach in our blog: https://lnkd.in/eYaRM458

Great to see Zero Knowledge Podcast referencing the MoonMath Manual as a learning resource. We’re always glad to see our freely available guide supporting education and helping more people learn the foundations of zero-knowledge proofs. https://lnkd.in/eG4haq2g

Berliners! Are you, or do you know FLINTA+ folks interested in diving deeper into information and cybersecurity topics in a friendly and safe space? Clit Ipsum Berlin is hosting its first Sunday Study brunch this weekend! Spread the word 🎉 Location Host: Least Authority in Berlin Time: Sunday, March 16 from 11-14 Agenda: Study group matching, networking and study+share time RSVP: ping me here or email hackerinnen@clitipsum.com Please feel free to bring snacks, study materials or ideas to share/study/experiment. Children, babies and additional drawing materials/children's books welcome! Expect joy, hackery and amazing persons. 🤗 ------ Clit Ipsum is a new FLINTA* and friends** security community for proactively learning deeper areas within security. It aims to build a safe community- and self-guided learning practice. A space to: - Share your interests and discover new ones - Find study buddies with similar interests - Form co-learning and study groups - Learn by sharing what you learned and by pairing/explaining - Discover new topics, learning styles and practices Some of the current study topics include: - Applied Cryptography - Cryptographic Foundations (i.e. math, information and coding theory) - Adversarial AI/ML - Reverse Engineering There are currently members in Berlin, Hamburg and Munich. Each group plans to organize their own study brunches/meetups and there will be online-organized and co-organized in-person events for sharing learnings across the groups. All groups are actively looking for members interested in co-organizing and/or attending, and there is a communal chat space to discuss new ideas as the groups evolve. The name came out of the first Feminist AI LAN Party, where a small group of attendees built adversarial and feminist attacks tested against ChatGPT. ChatGPT responded with Clit Ipsum text, and the name was born. Thanks Sammy! 🤣 *FLINTA = women, lesbian, intersectional, non-binary, trans, agender persons welcome **friends = explicitly invited allies
