Bio: Kat Sweet joined the infosec world in 2013 when she gave a certain 3D printing talk at BSidesLV (yes, *that* 3D printing talk). Finally rejecting the conventional wisdom of "don't quit your day job", she will soon be returning to school to study network security. She holds an Amateur Radio Extra Class license (K7FTW), and has the supreme privilege of running CircleCityConÆ,??s first ham radio exam session. She is also (among other things) a lockpicking enthusiast, lyric mezzo, and prolific knitter. Kat lives in Madison, WI with her kittens, Mal and Zoe.
