Defending AI with an APE
When it comes to attacks on generative AI, Prompt Injection is everywhere. So everywhere, in fact, that it’s starting to lose all meaning. If everything is Prompt Injection, then nothing really is — right? In this talk, we’ll go beyond the buzzword and into the world of APE: a structured, practical taxonomy designed for the teams on the front lines, Red Teams, SOCs, Incident Response, and Intelligence. APE helps make sense of the chaos by categorising how adversaries are actually targeting AI systems. Whether you're testing defences, triaging incidents, tracking threat actors, or just trying to figure out what’s going wrong with your chatbot at 3 a.m., APE gives you the vocabulary and framework to work smarter. Because let’s be honest, AI isn’t going anywhere, and neither are the people trying to break it.

Rethinking Digital Forensics in Incident Response
The term DFIR has become really popular over the last several years and is used as an all-encompassing term for digital forensics and incident response. But the reality is that there is actually an inherent contradiction between digital forensics and incident response, because the actual end goals of digital forensics and incident response are actually not the same. The reality is that for most organizations, incident response focuses on making the pain go away, and maybe improving security going forward. Thinking about a legal outcome is far from the reality for most organizations.

The Changing Role of a Security Leader and What It Means to You
As the world of information technology continues to change, so does the role of the security leader. Whether you're a CISO, Director of Security, or someone aspiring for such a position, you should consider how the current trends in IT and business affect your professional journey. Does your current approach to security leadership set you up for success?
Attend this session to learn how experienced CISOs:
- Align their security strategy to the business it aims to support
- Ask the right questions to excel in challenging situations
- Gain support for their efforts from non-security stakeholders
- Use technical and communication skills to their advantage
Those of us whose professional roots are grounded in technology often look at enterprise defenses from the perspective of the threats. While understanding the relationship between attacks and defenses is important, it's no longer sufficient. Attend this session to learn how to think about the role of a modern security leader to succeed in today's business environment.
