Full description from organizer

As AI gets more capable, so do the threats. AI is reshaping the economics of cyberattacks: vulnerabilities can be found faster, attacks automated, and sophisticated techniques deployed at unprecedented scale. Recent security tests also show frontier AI systems escaping controlled environments and reaching real-world systems. Yet this shift gives defenders a rare opportunity to rethink how we secure critical software, infrastructure, and digital systems. We want to bring together developers, security engineers, ML/AI engineers, infrastructure engineers, and agent builders to tackle this head-on. 🛡️ What You’re Building For Threat discovery · find vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and attack paths before they’re exploited Attack intelligence · turn fragmented signals into a clear picture of what’s happening Autonomous remediation · patch, harden, and verify fixes with minimal human intervention Continuous defense · systems that monitor, adapt, and respond as threats evolve Speakers Loading...
