W4CFI - Security with Perspective: Lessons You Only Learn the Hard Way
**This event is aimed at mid- to senior-level women in cybersecurity. Sign up through the waiting list and we will review all sign ups and send confirmation emails manually.Signing up on Meetup does not guarantee a spot. Confirmation emails means a spot secured.**
This event brings together mid‑senior women in cyber to explore how our thinking evolves over time: the shift from execution to perspective, from technical depth to strategic influence, and from learning the rules to understanding when they must be bent.
Please note that we can accommodate dietary restrictions for those who get a spot by 22.05.2026. However, due to some constraints, we may not be able to make special food arrangements for those who get a spot after this date. We appreciate your understanding.
**Agenda**
17.00-18.00: Doors open, dinner and drinks will be served
18:00-19.00:Talk by Laura Kankaala - “FAFO (F\*\*\* Around and Find Out)”
From 19.00: Open discussion and networking
Our speaker, Laura Kankaala will share insights shaped by real world experience, including:
• How mindset and priorities change after several years in the field
• Mistakes that became turning points
• Balancing expertise with influence
• What she wish she had known earlier in her career
• How seasoned professionals build authority and perspective
**Laura Kankaala** works as Head of Threat Intelligence at F-Secure. She specialises in understanding the latest scams, hacks, malware and fraudulent behaviours in cyber crime and current threats that affect everyday internet users. Her background primarily lies in offensive security - ethical hacking. She's also known for her appearance in Finnish hacking TV documentary Team Whack.
After the talk, we’ll continue the conversation at the tables with open, honest, experience driven discussions among peers who understand the weight and complexity of this work.
This evening is designed to recognise and celebrate the women who are shaping security, not just implementing it.
We see you. We value your expertise. And we hope you’ll join us for a gathering built for women like you.
**We have a no-show policy**
If you are not able to participate and do not cancel, you will not be allowed to participate in upcoming W4CFI events for the next six months.
**Photos and social media**
Please note that pictures from the event will be shared in our social media channels. You can opt-out from being photographed at the event.
On Boredom
Why does boredom feel so unbearable?
Is boredom simply the absence of stimulation — or does it reveal something deeper about how we live?
This meetup explores boredom not as a minor inconvenience, but as a philosophical problem connected to meaning, desire, work, technology, loneliness, and the search for fulfillment. In a world full of entertainment and constant distraction, why do so many people still feel restless and unsatisfied?
Together we will discuss questions such as:
* Is boredom a personal problem or a social one?
* Can a meaningful life still contain boredom?
* Why do comfort and entertainment often fail to satisfy us?
* Does boredom push us toward growth — or toward escape?
* What does boredom reveal about modern life?
No philosophical background is needed. The goal is open, thoughtful discussion rather than academic debate.
Come curious, reflective, skeptical — or simply bored.

Badminton at Tali
Hello sporty population!
Join us for badminton and meet people from around the world! Everyone is welcome, whether you’re a beginner or already experienced.
**IMPORTANT**: Spots are limited, so please reserve yours in advance. Only registered participants can join to ensure fair access for everyone. If you mark “going” but do not attend, or fail to cancel at least 1 day before(By 9pm Saturday), you may be suspended from the next two sessions.
📍 Location: Talihalli Huopalahti
⏰ Time: 11:00–12:30
🏸 Courts: 9, 10, and 11
You can meet us at the entrance a little before 11:00 or come directly to the courts (**please do not enter before our booking starts**).
Who can join?
• Open to everyone, regardless of background or gender
• No badminton skills needed – beginners are welcome
• **Age limit: 16+**
Event is free, but please bring your rackets and indoor shoes, or you can borrow a racket from the hall for free if needed.
We are committed to making our events and activities accessible to those who need them most. Therefore, **individuals with a refugee background are welcome to attend free of charge without prior registration.** If you plan to join, simply send a message to Alaa to let us know you’re coming.
This approach is intentional. Many refugees and newcomers face practical, cultural, and psychological barriers that can make formal registration difficult or discouraging. By removing this requirement, we aim to create a more inclusive, low-threshold environment where participation feels safe, simple, and welcoming.
Our events are designed to support the mental health and well-being of refugees and immigrants, while also encouraging dialogue that challenges cross-cultural stigmas and stereotypes. We believe open access is an important step in building trust, increasing participation, and creating meaningful connections across communities.
After badminton, we'll enjoy Talihalli's sauna and maybe go to a local restaurant to grab some lunch after the game.
Warm welcome!

**Abstract**
Like it or not, AI agents are now capable of turning a quickly written paragraph of requirements into a pull request that is ready to be integrated into real-world production applications and it's now our responsibility to make sure AI doesn't go rogue and take down prod - or corrupt our data by misunderstanding the requirements or our existing schemas. In this session we'll explore strategies to protect our codebases through unit and integration testing, documentation, and code review along with additional ways of providing context and guard rails to our AI agents as they carry out the work we've assigned them to do. By the time we're done, you'll have a firm grasp of the problem and understand some helpful options for protecting your codebase from vibe coding mishaps getting YOLOed into prod.
