Computest Sector 7, nice to meet you
We’re Sector 7, EU security lab and research division. We’re a bunch of white-hat hackers dedicated to research that actually makes the world a better place. For example, we perform vulnerability research on targets that are important for a secure society, like Zoom and the CoronaCheck app during the pandemic and more recently EV-chargers. We have participated in the famous Pwn2Own competition multiple times, where we won the “Master of Pwn” title twice, which we’re pretty proud of.

- Writing blog posts and articles about your research findings
- Hitting the stage during national and international events, making a name for yourself in the security world
