DEF CON Switzerland [DC4131]

We are Rhacklette, a group of female, inter, non-binary, trans and agender (FINTA) people in Security. Our goal is to create a protected space for gender minorities in the security industry, this applies to professionals as well as students or career changers.

We are a subgroup of DEFCON Switzerland, a non profit well known for the Area41 conference and Beer On Tuesdays (BoTs). DEFCON Switzerland strives to support and foster the local hacker community.

We want to create a network, mainly in Switzerland, where people feel safe and understood. A safe space to learn together, in which knowledge is imparted and built up, where you can have fun together and meet other people who share the same passion.

Come and join us for our monthly meetups, we look forward to welcoming you! :)
