Anti-Cast: Prompt Engineering 201: The Context Stack with Bronwen Aker
2026-06-24 12:00 - 13:00
What separates a so-so AI response from one you can actually rely on?

In this Anti-Cast, Bronwen Aker, AI Researcher at BHIS, will take you beyond prompting fundamentals and move into more advanced prompt techniques designed for real-world use.

Along the way, you’ll see how context, structure, and clearly defined outputs transform inconsistent replies into something dependable and repeatable. That shift means less time fixing results and more confidence in what you produce, whether you’re new or experienced.

The answer isn’t more complexity. It’s knowing how to shape the input so the model delivers exactly what you need.

Anti-Cast: Forensic Investigations: What AI and Analysts Get Wrong with Markus Schober
2026-07-08 12:00 - 13:00
How many forensic reports contain conclusions that the evidence doesn’t actually support?

Join Markus Schober, founder of Blue Cape Security and former enterprise incident responder, demonstrates why both AI and human analysts draw incorrect conclusions from Windows forensic artifacts, and how proper correlation leads to more defensible investigations.

You’ll learn to evaluate artifact confidence, avoid overclaiming findings, and correlate multiple evidence sources to answer the most critical questions in DFIR — what was executed, when, and how.

If you’ve ever relied on single artifacts to support findings, this session will challenge how you think about evidence, strengthen your investigative tradecraft, and help you produce conclusions you can confidently defend.

How do you get a coding agent to write quality, well-architected code instead of a teetering house of cards?

Join Ethan Robish, Black Hills Infosec former pentester and current SOC architect, for a technical session on the scaffolding, guardrails, and processes that turn agentic coding from a novelty into a production-grade workflow.

You’ll learn how to write specs your agent can actually execute, enforce test-driven development from the first prompt, codify domain knowledge into reusable skills around the APIs and tools you depend on, and apply the checks and balances that keep AI-generated codebases maintainable instead of disposable.

Whether you’re shipping side projects or production systems, you’ll walk away with a repeatable blueprint for building real software with agents — not just demos.

Summit Talk: Building Custom Agents That Survive First Contact
2026-08-14 11:30 - 11:55
Hayden Covington

Register Here

What if the problem with AI in security is not that teams need better prompts, but that we keep asking general-purpose assistants to survive workflows they were never designed for?

In this session, Hayden Covington, Associate Director of Security Operations at the BHIS SOC, will walk through how to design custom agents for real security operations work: triage support, detection engineering, enrichment workflows, reporting, research, and review-heavy operational tasks. The focus is not magic prompts or over-engineered instructions; it is the engineering work behind useful agents. Powerful agents have clear roles, bounded authority, durable memory, tool access, handoff points, review gates, and failure modes that operators can actually relate to.

Attendees will leave with a practical design model for building agents that make an impact with minimal prompting effort, accelerate workflows without hiding risk, and fit into the way security teams already work. The goal is to move from prompt experimentation to repeatable agent design that can survive real operational pressure.

What happens when AI confidently recommends the wrong security action in your IT environment, or on your plant floor?

Join Molly Correia, cybersecurity consultant, as she turns a virtual talk into a live experiment: you’ll prompt your preferred AI model — ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot, or whichever model your team relies on — to analyze a real-world CVE, then compare results against authoritative sources to see exactly where the models hallucinate facts, recommendations, and unsupported conclusions.

You’ll walk away knowing how to distinguish confidence from correctness, why AI outputs require validation before they drive operational decisions, and how an AI Assurance Control can help your SOC measure trustworthiness before AI becomes a security control.

Before AI becomes a security control, it needs one.

What if the vulnerability that gets your organization breached isn’t a single critical flaw, but three “harmless” mediums nobody thought to chain together?

Join Derek Banks, BHIS Security Consultant, as he walks you through Fusion Penetration Testing — BHIS’s approach that pairs a purpose-built AI system with a senior human consultant to hunt down the attack chains automated scanners routinely miss.

You’ll see how Fusion connects lower-severity findings into real, exploitable attack paths, so you understand how attackers actually chain small gaps into full breaches — not just where you scored well on a scanner report.

At roughly a third the cost of a traditional external pentest, it’s not AI replacing your pentester: It’s AI making sure your pentester never misses what would’ve gotten you breached.

Summit Talk: When Your Logs Attack Your Security Agent
2026-08-14 14:30 - 14:55
Faan Rossouw

Register Here

What happens when the adversary can write directly into the evidence your AI is analyzing?

Join Faan Rossouw (aionsec.ai) for a 25-minute, demo-driven session on a blind spot in every security system that puts an LLM agent in the analysis loop: the data the agent reads is partly authored by the adversary, which turns your own telemetry into a potential prompt-injection channel.

You’ll see a live attack flip a confirmed detection into a dismissed one, then learn a layered, deterministic defense – control/data separation, output grounding gates, capability containment, and an injection eval suite – that holds even when the model is fooled, because the core rule is never ask the model to defend the model.

Walk away able to find this vulnerability in your own AI-assisted workflows and build defenses that don’t depend on the model “resisting” anything.

Summit Talk: Jailbreak the Enterprise: Attacking Agentic AI & LLM Infrastructure
2026-08-14 15:00 - 15:25
Alicia Cuestas

Register Here

Your organization just hired an AI employee. Did you check its attack surface?

Join Alicia Cuestas, CEO of Open-Sec and offensive security professional, as she demonstrates how to exploit agentic AI systems by treating the LLM itself as a vulnerable jump-box. Using indirect prompt injection and tool-use manipulation, she’ll show you how attackers leak sensitive data, move laterally across internal APIs, and bypass system-level guardrails.

You’ll learn a technical methodology for attacking the AI infrastructure your organization is deploying right now — the same techniques red teamers and real-world adversaries will use against autonomous systems connected to your APIs, databases, and CLI tools.

If your org is deploying AI agents, someone is going to test this attack surface. Make sure it’s you first.

Matt Franz

Register Here

Can your SIEM find the needle in the haystack — or does it need a smarter partner?

Join Matt Franz, AI Security Lead at Bespin Global, as he shows you how to vibe-code a custom MCP Server for your SIEM in Go, whether or not your vendor already ships one.

In 25 minutes, you’ll benefit from Matt’s experience building tools for SentinelOne, Osquery, Coralogix, and Elastic and learn:

A method for building and reusing client libraries even when your vendor offers no SDK or API spec

Hands-on techniques for wiring your MCP Server into coding agents and agent frameworks

Practical approaches to tuning tool calling, prompting, and query guardrails to cut latency

Testing, observability, and caching strategies to optimize queries for your datasets

A git/markdown threat-hunting workflow you can operationalize into a persistent knowledge base

MCP security concerns are real, but local MCP servers can be built and run safely, with significant payoff for your team (human and agentic alike).
You might even save a token or two!
