Security Night is a time to chill with your fellow cybersecurity, infosec, and hacker buds! This is a place to socialize and learn about security and hacking. All skill levels welcome! Contrary to popular belief, you don't need to be a computer whiz to be a hacker. Hacking is simply using a tool or system for a purpose that it was not intended for.

Join us on the first Monday of every month for learning, engaging discussion, and following your curiosity with friends.
