Network security has made some major advances in the past couple decades, so much so, that is has become incredibly difficult to attack a well secured network perimeter as a means of accessing the data and systems contained therein. So it’s no wonder that malicious users have begun pursuing other avenues and skirting the perimeter defenses all together. From the attacker’s standpoint, breaching a network is all about economics and ROI. It just doesn’t make sense to mount an attack that will c …

Some may think you're a unicorn, but you just want to create. This group is dedicated to bringing out both the hacker and designer in all of us. The old dichotomy of developer vs. designer is a relic of 20th century corporate America.

This group is about balancing our logical and linear left brains with our imaginative and creative right brains.

Join an incredible group of entrepreneurs, designers, developers, businesspeople, and individuals from all creative disciplines who are applying their skills and experiences to advance common good by ideating, designing, and building solutions that matter.
