Explore the edge where AI meets cybersecurity. Start with the basics, then build and deploy AI-powered tools that you understand. Whether you're defending or testing systems, this workshop gives you full control of your AI arsenal. None of the hype, all hands-on know-how.
This isn’t your average AI workshop. We’re diving into the unpredictable intersection of AI and cybersecurity, where defenders race to keep up, attackers get opportunistic, and we’re all trying to make sense of it. Don’t worry, we will start with all the basics, then move into hands-on aspects where you’ll deploy local models and build AI-powered cyber things. Whether you're defending the system or breaking into it, this session is guided by one key principle: full control and understanding of your AI arsenal. You will learn what AI is and why it matters, explore how it can be used in cybersecurity, uncover its possibilities, hype, false or real promise and limitations.
