SEC536: Adversarial AI - Penetration Testing AI Systems



This talk is about building the kind of organization attackers hate: proactive, security-aware, and architected to make compromise painful. We will explore how security culture, threat-informed thinking, and smart architectural patterns can work together to reduce attacker opportunity and increase defender advantage.
