Featured Guest:
I am Ovi (pronounced Ovie), I have been a security researcher for over 10 years, with what started as a hobby (hacking) when I was a teenager. I work directly with civil society on threat research (spyware and malware), penetration testing/security assessments and building technology with a focus on undeserved regions (in the context of threat research). I work with groups such as Security Matters Asia, Centre of Digital Resilience, Open Tech Fund and I have a project called BARGHEST, which is a civil society hacktivist collective with aims to decolonize and democratize threat research.
