SEC536: Adversarial AI - Penetration Testing AI Systems

In-Person
Leadership decides whether a cyber programme succeeds or stalls. Your position on the org chart has nothing to do with whether you are the leader.
This is a discussion, not a lecture. We will talk about how to lead from any seat: looking after your teammates, mentoring the people around you, and becoming the person everyone on the team wants to work beside. The kind of influence that does not wait for a promotion.
Ideal for analysts, engineers, team leads, and managers who want to build real influence in their security team, whatever their title says.

Artificial intelligence is rapidly finding its way into digital forensics and incident response, promising to help practitioners analyse larger volumes of data, identify relationships across complex evidence sets, automate repetitive tasks, and potentially reach investigative insights faster than ever before. But does this mean that AI will eventually replace the digital forensic practitioner? This presentation argues that this is the wrong question to be asking.

What if you could learn five times as much every week? Compound that across a career and the gap becomes enormous.
This practical session lays out an AI-driven workflow: spot the topics worth your attention in seconds and skip the noise, capture and transcribe online media using Dev Tools and speech-to-text, then summarise down to the essentials. You will expand passive learning through Deep Research, NotebookLM, Pocket Casts, and speed-listening, then lock the insights in with AI-generated Anki decks and interactive quizzes. Commutes, chores, and idle moments become learning time.
Ideal for practitioners at any level who want a repeatable system for staying current, and for leaders who want their teams learning faster.

Artificial intelligence and large language models are changing how cybersecurity work gets done, and there is no opting out of the pace of that change.
This session tracks the trends taking us from "traditional" security to what teams will actually need for 2027 and beyond, and what it means for protecting data when incidents move faster than the playbooks written for them.
Ideal for incident responders, SOC and DFIR teams, and security leaders planning capability for the next few years.
