Písk.cz

Inspiration

Presence of high level corruption in daily lives of people in Czechia and Slovakia.

What it does

How I built it

We form team of skilled System Administrators, Lawyers and Developers to deploy solution and prepare for future development.

Challenges I ran into

Technical set up was the most challenging part in the given time.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

Creation of PISK team and PoC of SecureDrop for Czechia and Slovakia.

What I learned

Current state of security and security awareness in CZ and SK is worse than perceived.
