SEC536: Adversarial AI - Penetration Testing AI Systems






Whether you're a Cybersecurity pro or just curious about the intersection of physical and digital security, this session is your gateway into the world of *locksport*—the art of lockpicking for learning and awareness.
In this interactive presentation, Jérôme will walk you through:
You'll learn not just the "how," but the "why of informed consent, permission, and awareness are important in physical bypass. Most attendees successfully open their first lock in under 30 minutes. Will you be one of them?
In-Person
AI... You cant avoid it, it's everywhere. Talks about workforce reductions, further optimizations, agentic this, agentic that... how does it all work? In this talk, we take a look behind the scenes; how can you utilize these models the best way possible? What is prompt engineering? Context engineering? What are skills, MCP's, workflows, and how do you in fact "vibe code."
This bonus session is only available to in-person and virtual attendees of this event. Links to the virtual presentations will be shared on the event slack channels in advance of the presentations.
In-Person & Virtual
Over the last few years we've had a constant stream of doom, gloom, and general end-of-the-world stress.
Let's take an hour to look at how we can break down the challenges of "AI everywhere", a tsunami of vulnerabilities hitting our systems, and the looming approach of stable quantum computers and a post-quantum encryption world.
Can you think of a nicer way to finish up an evening?
