Kat Sweet is in her final semester of studying network security at Madison Area Technical College. When she’s not hacking for grades (or lulz), she feeds herself (and her brain) by blue teaming for her school, writing, and teaching at her friendly neighborhood hackerspace. She got her speaking start in the BSidesLV Proving Ground, where she returned last year as a presentation mentor. She currently serves as the CFP co-chair for CircleCityCon, as well as a founding board member of TiaraCon. Her speaking credits include BSidesLV, CircleCityCon, CypherCon, SkyTalks, and the DEF CON Wireless Village. Always accumulating way too many hobbies, she enjoys long walks on the beach, bursting into song, and picking unsuspecting locks.
