A Spectrum of Perspective w/ Chloe

This week we have a special guest by the name of Chloé Messdaghi who is a Security Researcher Advocate, one of the Women of Security (WoSEC) founders, founder of WomenHackerz online community, and a list of things too long to type, kicking it with us today!

We talk about how Chloe has gotten very involved with the women in security movement, self promotion in tech, and how her dog likes run circles around her at home!

At the 17:53 mark, Chloe mentioned a statistic. It should be 2.4x, not 2.4%.
