SUMMARY:WiCyS October Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Ghost in the Wires: My Adventures as the World’s Most Wanted Hacker by Kevin Mitnick \nIn this “intriguing\, insightful and extremely educational” novel\, the world’s most famous hacker teaches you easy cloaking and counter-measures for citizens and consumers in the age of Big Brother and Big Data (Frank W. Abagnale). \nKevin Mitnick was the most elusive computer break-in artist in history. He accessed computers and networks at the world’s biggest companies — and no matter how fast the authorities were\, Mitnick was faster\, sprinting through phone switches\, computer systems\, and cellular networks. As the FBI’s net finally began to tighten\, Mitnick went on the run\, engaging in an increasingly sophisticated game of hide-and-seek that escalated through false identities\, a host of cities\, and plenty of close shaves\, to an ultimate showdown with the Feds\, who would stop at nothing to bring him down. \nGhost in the Wires is a thrilling true story of intrigue\, suspense\, and unbelievable escapes — and a portrait of a visionary who forced the authorities to rethink the way they pursued him\, and forced companies to rethink the way they protect their most sensitive information. \n“Mitnick manages to make breaking computer code sound as action-packed as robbing a bank.” — NPR \nRegister HERE

SUMMARY:WiCyS Talent Assessment Powered by Skillrex
DESCRIPTION:WiCyS and skillrex have partnered to launch the WiCyS Talent Assessment\, a vital research tool designed to better understand the background\, skills\, and professional development needs of our members. This is not a test or a certification exam\, and no prerequisite knowledge is required. By participating between December 1 and December 31\, 2025\, you’ll help identify current skill trends within the WiCyS community. The assessment is completed fully online\, takes approximately 60 minutes (with the ability to take breaks between tasks)\, and requires a laptop or desktop computer for the best experience. As a participant\, you’ll receive a personal report with your score from a knowledge-based quiz aligned with industry standards (like NIST-NICE)\, giving you a clear understanding of your areas of expertise and potential skill gaps. All responses are securely stored by skillrex\, and only anonymized data will be shared with WiCyS leadership. \n  \nLearn more and participate in the assessment HERE

SUMMARY:WiCyS December Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Book: Co-Intelligence: Living and Working with AI by Ethan Mollick- \nSomething new entered our world in November 2022 — the first general purpose AI that could pass for a human and do the kinds of creative\, innovative work that only humans could do previously. Wharton professor Ethan Mollick immediately understood what ChatGPT meant: after millions of years on our own\, humans had developed a kind of co-intelligence that could augment\, or even replace\, human thinking. Through his writing\, speaking\, and teaching\, Mollick has become one of the most prominent and provocative explainers of AI\, focusing on the practical aspects of how these new tools for thought can transform our world. \nIn Co-Intelligence\, Mollick urges us to engage with AI as co-worker\, co-teacher\, and coach. He assesses its profound impact on business and education\, using dozens of real-time examples of AI in action. Co-Intelligence shows what it means to think and work together with smart machines\, and why it’s imperative that we master that skill. \nMollick challenges us to utilize AI’s enormous power without losing our identity\, to learn from it without being misled\, and to harness its gifts to create a better human future. Wide ranging\, hugely thought-provoking\, optimistic\, and lucid\, Co-Intelligence reveals the promise and power of this new era. \nRegister HERE

SUMMARY:WiCyS February Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Book: Co-Intelligence – Weapons of Math Destruction: How Big Data Increases Inequality and Threatens Democracy by Cathy O’Neil \nWeapons of Math Destruction by Cathy O’Neil explores how big data and algorithms\, often seen as objective and fair\, can actually reinforce inequality and harm society. \nO’Neil argues that many of the mathematical models used to make important decisions—such as who gets hired\, approved for loans\, targeted by police\, or evaluated as a teacher—are opaque\, unregulated\, and built on flawed assumptions. Because these systems operate at massive scale and are difficult to challenge\, their mistakes disproportionately affect poor and marginalized communities while benefiting those already in power. \nThrough real-world examples\, the book shows how bias can be hidden behind numbers and labels like “efficiency” or “neutrality\,” ultimately threatening fairness and democracy. O’Neil calls for greater transparency\, accountability\, and ethical responsibility in how data-driven systems are designed and used. \nRegister HERE
