Overview

ShaktiCon is a completely free annually hosted global conference focused on inspiring, training, and upskilling women in cyber-security. ShaktiCon includes keynote sessions, training, contests, and workshops. Our ShaktiCTF'20 contest attracted over 1500 participants from 5 continents in December 2020. Born out of an understanding that cultural circumstances do not always encourage women to flourish in male-dominant fields, ShaktiCon is committed to creating a female-focused environment to showcase the range of talented women in cyber-security. By doing this we hope to train a new generation of women to be more actively engaged in the field and enter the cyber-security workforce. ShaktiCon is all about women role models inspiring & encouraging aspiring women hackers to attain their goals without any fear.
