In order to prevent these attacks on our privacy\, an impor tant step is to **identify any vulnerabilities** in the computer systems that store our private data before those faults can be used to steal th e data. And that's where **penetration testing** comes in. Penetration testing\, or "\;pentesting\,"\; is a process of attacking compu ter systems in order to find security weaknesses so that they can be fix ed before criminals and other malicious actors find and take advantage o f them. \;\n \;\nPlease join us for a fascinating presentation tha t will examine some common computer attacks and preventative steps that we can take to avoid them. **Karl Fosaaen\,** from **NetSPI\,** will ta lk about working as a pentester and will discuss avoiding exploits in ap plications and networks and how to counter social engineering attacks.&# 13\;\n \;\n**We'll have snacks\,** and there will be an opportunity f or networking following the talk. We hope to see you there! \;\n \;\n**Speaker Bio:** \;\n \;\nKarl is a Managing Consultant with N etSPI who specializes in network and web application penetration testing . With over eight years of consulting experience in the computer securit y industry\, he has worked in a variety of industries and has made his w ay through many Active Directory domains. Karl also holds a BS in Comput er Science from the University of Minnesota. This year\, he has spent a fair amount of time digging into the Skype for Business APIs. Prior to t hat\, Karl has helped build out and maintain NetSPI's GPU cracking boxes . Karl has previously spoken at THOTCON\, BSidesMSP\, BSidesPDX\, and De rbyCon. In his spare time\, you may see him trying to sell you a t-shirt as a swag goon at DEF CON.\n\nTags: security\, privacy\, pentesting\, p enetration testing\, ta3m\, mozilla\, netspi\n\nImported from: http://ca lagator.org/events/1250471212 URL:https://www.meetup.com/Portlands-Techno-Activism-3rd-Mondays/events/2 36341742/ SUMMARY:Pentesting: Find Where Your Systems are Vulnerable LOCATION:Mozilla: 1120 NW Couch St.\, Suite 320\, Portland Oregon 97209 U S SEQUENCE:1 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
