OWASP Top 3 for LLMs

This presentation provides a high-level overview of three key risks from the OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications 2025: LLM01: Prompt Injection, LLM02: Sensitive Information Disclosure, and LLM03: Supply Chain Vulnerabilities. We will discuss the core concepts behind these threats, how they can be exploited to compromise LLM-based solutions, and the potential impact on organizations. Finally, we will review key mitigating controls and security principles that can help reduce the likelihood and impact of these risks.

Seven questions that reveal every AI security risk

AI security has changed. Risks like prompt injection and the OWASP LLM Top 10 are still important, but they are no longer the whole story. As AI evolves from chatbots to autonomous agents, the way we think about security must evolve as well.
In this session, you'll discover a simple way to identify AI security risks without getting lost in complex frameworks or endless checklists. Sometimes, asking the right questions is all it takes to reveal the threats that matter most.

Weaponized LLMs: Defending Against the Next Generation of AI-Driven Social Engineering

The "Weaponized LLMs" session analyzes how cybercriminals leverage unfiltered language models to mass-produce perfectly personalized social engineering attacks capable of bypassing traditional security measures. During this presentation, we will explore the anatomy of these modern threat vectors, including automated OSINT, voice deepfakes, and malicious real-time conversations. Most importantly, we will outline effective defense strategies that combine Zero Trust architecture, phishing-resistant authentication, and the use of artificial intelligence for early anomaly detection (an AI vs. AI approach).

Think like an attacker: Hardening LLMs via AI Red Teaming

Large Language Models (LLMs) are transforming businesses, but they are also opening a Pandora’s box of unique security vulnerabilities. From clever prompt injections and jailbreaks to data poisoning and indirect attacks, traditional application security measures are no longer enough to keep systems safe. To build truly resilient AI applications, we must learn to think like the adversaries. In this session, we will dive deep into the world of AI Red Teaming—the practice of intentionally challenging, probing, and attacking LLMs to uncover flaws before malicious actors do. We will move past the basic concepts of system prompts and explore advanced methodologies for model hardening and defense-in-depth. Through practical examples and real-world scenarios, we will examine how automated and manual red teaming can expose hidden risks, and how to implement robust guardrails that don't compromise model performance. Whether you are a security professional, a data scientist, or an engineer deploying AI to production, this talk will provide you with a blueprint for securing the next generation of intelligent software.
