A local hub for infosec people.

SaimaaSec ry is a non-profit association building an open, friendly information-security community around the Saimaa region.

We organise regular meetups and community events where people share talks, hands-on sessions, war stories and a good amount of sauna-grade conversation. No gatekeeping — whether you defend networks for a living, study at university, or simply find security fascinating, there's a seat for you.

We're part of #Citysec, the network of Finnish city-based security communities.
