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 | DIRC25: Merit + Inclusion
DESCRIPTION:Now in its eighth year\, the DIRC series remains the premier forum for bridging rigorous research and real-world application in the pursuit of more inclusive and successful organizations. DIRC25 marks a bold evolution. In response to today’s increasingly polarized climate\, we are reframing the conversation around two universally relevant priorities: Merit and Inclusion. \n\n\n\n\n\nThis year’s focus will be on Merit + Inclusion.\nMerit—when clearly defined and supported by data—ensures that opportunity and advancement are based on capability and contribution\, not identity. Inclusion ensures that nothing interferes with an individual’s ability to contribute fully in the workplace. Together\, these principles form the foundation of high-performance organizations where everyone can thrive. \nThrough TED-style talks\, disruptive conversations\, multidisciplinary panels\, and innovative research presentations\, DIRC25: M+I brings together thought leaders\, researchers\, and practitioners from across sectors to explore how organizations can measure and enhance both merit and inclusion in meaningful\, actionable ways\, to create true meritocracies for all. \n\n\n  \nRegister HERE and use code D25-WICYS for a 20% discount

SUMMARY:Webinar | Dear Day One: Real Talk from First Jobs and Beyond
DESCRIPTION:Starting your first job is equal parts exciting\, confusing\, and a little overwhelming. From the unexpected surprises on day one to figuring out which skills actually matter (hint: it’s not always the ones listed on your resume)\, the journey from “new hire” to confident contributor is full of lessons that no one really teaches you. \nIn this panel with WiCyS Strategic Partner\, Bloomberg\, we’ll dive into real stories and insider advice that professionals wish they had when starting out. We’ll talk about the skills that make the biggest difference\, how to adapt quickly to a new organization\, team and culture\, as well as the roles that mentors\, managers\, and peers play in shaping your growth. Most importantly\, we’ll unpack the unspoken rules of the workplace — those things you won’t find in an onboarding guide but which can define your career trajectory. \nWhether you’re about to start your first role or already navigating early career challenges\, this conversation will give you a candid\, relatable look at what it really takes to thrive in today’s workplace. \n  \nWiCyS is proud to provide members the opportunity to earn CPE/CEU credits for attending WiCyS Webinars live.
