AI expert Nina Schick argues that Generative AI will lead to a new phase in human evolution – one that will fundamentally reshape all aspects of human creativity, communication, knowledge and information. But as these seemingly omnipotent technologies reshape the world – society will need to be able to answer the following questions: Will AI augment or automate us? Who will, or should, control Gen AI systems? How do companies and nation-states start thinking about a GenAI strategy? How do we think about data and privacy in the Era of Generative AI? Can GenAI become an open infrastructure for humanity? How will the enormous abundance engendered by GenAI be distributed? Nina Schick will help you find the answers in her keynote.

If a hacker cannot exploit a vulnerability in a product, they might find one in the foundation! We’ve built the internet upon standards established decades ago, resulting in some considerable security consequences today. In this talk, Inti is revealing his RFC research playbook and will discuss some of his recent finds. As an ethical hacker, Inti hunts down security vulnerabilities in companies like Facebook, Google, Dropbox and the US Department of Defense. In 2018, Inti was awarded the ‘Most Valuable Hacker’ award, one of the most prestigious titles an ethical hacker can receive.

Detecting and responding to security threats within an organization requires leveraging logs, metrics and traces for analyses and insights, with the standard goals of continually improving mean time to detect (MTTD) and mean time to resolve (MTTR) in efficient cost-effective ways. This includes leveraging big data and machine learning to automate IT operations including event correlation, anomaly detection and causality determination. But how do we achieve that without drowning in data, and how do we prioritize what’s important? Can the tech behind ChatGPT change the world? This session explores the concept of applied observability, the challenges and benefits of integrating signal with AIMLops.

In this keynote, Iretioluwa will focus on The Human in Security, by talking about the human psychology, infiltrating humans, common social engineering tactics, human related cyber attacks and the way forward. How can we move forward to ensure that humans are strong in security? Don’t miss this and find out! Iretioluwa co-founded Cybarik Limited, an organisation that provides world class information security consulting and training services to organisations and individuals. She also co-founded Cyblack, an organisation that offers support to Cyber security students in Europe. Iretioluwa is an Advisory Board member of Cybersafe Foundation.

Our digital society depends on our digital critical infrastructures, like datacenters. Without datacenters, our digital society will end. Streefland will show the audience the attack surface and the cybersecurity insights of these datacenters, who mostly depend on Operational Technology (OT). A cyberattack on IT systems can be very annoying , especially when it involves ransomware, but a cyberattack on OT systems can result into significant damage to our digital society, with a loss of lives as a worst case scenario. The goal of this keynote is not to ‘scare’, but to make people aware of this critical infrastructure issue.

Zero trust is a security model that is based on the idea that nothing should be trusted by default. In contrast to the traditional “castle and moat” security model, which focuses on securing the perimeter, zero trust focuses on identity and access verification for each user or system that attempts to access a network, much like airport security. The “airport model” is a nice example of how zero trust can be implemented. It requires users to authenticate themselves at each stage of the journey, from the airport entrance to the aircraft.

Ubiquitous SSL traffic presents a significant challenge for security administrators. Securing the contents of encrypted channels presents technical, logistical, compliance and ethical problems when intercepting and decrypting traffic, which often leads businesses to reject solutions which would otherwise increase their security posture. In this session, we’ll talk about an alternative – how AI/ML can be used to detect SSL-borne threats based on heuristics and metadata, without decrypting traffic, maximizing threat mitigation while minimizing operational overhead.
