About this Event
Come and network with your friends, make new friends, and hear an amazing speaker. A buffet dinner will be served and drinks will be available.
Topic: Defending Large Language Models: Securing Chatbots, Copilots, and AI Agents
This talk will explore the critical and vulnerable points in large language models (LLMs) used in chatbots, AI copilots, and intelligent agents. We’ll begin by understanding the trust boundaries in these systems and then dive into how to defend them against emerging threats. Taking a comprehensive approach, we’ll examine the tools, processes, and best practices that every security professional should adopt.
The session will draw on several real-world case studies to demonstrate the concepts. We will dive into the Responsible AI Software Engineering (RAISE) framework as a way to approach end-to-end security for your LLM system.
Drawing on Steve’s expertise as the founder and project lead for the OWASP Top 10 for Large Language Model Applications, this session will equip you with the knowledge to secure the next generation of AI-driven software.
This is event is for anyone preparing to face the evolving challenges of AI security and protect their systems from tomorrow's cutting-edge threats.
