BSides Philadelphia 2025 - Cybersecurity Conference

Where Cybersecurity Meets Innovation - Friday, December 5, 2025 at Live! Casino & Hotel Philadelphia

BSides Philadelphia - Cybersecurity Conference
Attending the workshop on web app pentesting led by Alex Olsen from TCM Security was truly insightful. Hosted by OWASP Seattle Chapter and Women in CyberSecurity (WiCyS)- Western Washington, the event provided valuable insights for aspiring pentesters like me. Alex's slide on the pentesting roadmap concerned me, though, as I seem to be going backwards on it. #CyberSecurity #Pentesting #OWASP #WiCyS #Tech #WebAppSec #InfoSec

We're loving the energy here in Nashville at @wicysorg 2024! If you're at #WiCyS, stop by our our booth to learn more about careers at Corelight. https://corelight.com/company/careers/
