The talk by Sergey Shkundaleu details insights gained from analyzing hundreds of iOS app privacy reports — automatically generated by Apple’s App Privacy Report feature — to uncover real-world data collection and tracking behaviors across popular apps.
Justin “Hutch” Hutchens examines the gap between sensationalized narratives around “AI hacking” and the pragmatic, risk-informed reality of AI adoption in enterprise environments.
The talk “Stealing Trust: Modern Social Engineering from Phishing to AI-Powered Vishing” by Chris Russell explores the evolution and increasing sophistication of social engineering attacks, emphasizing how adversaries now leverage artificial intelligence to automate and personalize deception.
Tim Medin’s talk “Offense for Defense” is a practical, engaging, and humorous guide for blue teamers, defenders, and IT professionals on leveraging offensive security tools and mindsets to proactively strengthen their organizations—without needing to become full-time red teamers.
Transit hardware hacking shows how surplus public transportation devices can be reverse engineered, repurposed and explored to uncover how real-world systems work — and where unexpected security weaknesses may hide.
Cognitive warfare turns the human mind into an attack surface, using disinformation, emotion, identity and social manipulation to exploit cognitive biases, erode trust and shape how people perceive reality.
AI-powered hackbots are reshaping cybersecurity by automating reconnaissance, vulnerability discovery and attacks at machine speed, forcing defenders to rethink how they detect and respond to threats.
Danielle (DJ) Jablanski argues that critical-infrastructure owners must stop waiting for perfect regulation or deterrence and instead start today to map interdependencies, engineer fault-tolerant redundancy, and reduce the severity of inevitable cyber-physical impacts.
Christopher Walcutt argues that AI can be used safely in OT environments if organizations first establish strong cybersecurity maturity, segmentation, visibility, and strict containment controls.
Cyber-informed engineering keeps OT systems safe by adding simple physical controls that prevent catastrophic failures even if digital systems are breached.
Security engineer and architect Brad Voris recounts designing zero-trust controls for legacy dairy-plant systems to protect millions of gallons of milk from tampering or contamination.
