AI Security – or who has given a knife to the chatbot?
Kevin Kloft, Solutions Engineer, Snyk

Kevin Kloft is a security professional with almost 10 years of experience in cloud-native security and DevSecOps. He specializes in the security of autonomous systems, with a focus on Agentic AI and the Model Context Protocol (MCP). As a speaker, he regularly shares practical exploitation and mitigation strategies as well as security-relevant topics at international conferences.

How an Observability Platform Became an AI-SOC
Petru Sarcov, Senior Security Solutions Engineer, Datadog

Verified Trust for Agentic AI
Dennis Haake, Senior Principal Solution Architect, Ping Identity

As AI agents increasingly act on behalf of users, trust must be continuously verified—not assumed. Enterprises face rising risks from AI-driven fraud, deepfakes, and unauthorized access across complex B2B ecosystems. This session explores how a unified identity platform enables real-time verification, adaptive security, and seamless access for every interaction. Learn how to secure agentic AI without adding friction—protecting revenue, accelerating partner collaboration, and building trusted digital relationships at scale. 

Mit KI-beschleunigten Angriffen Schritt halten
David Lin, Regional Manager, Pentera

Künstliche Intelligenz beschleunigt jede Phase des Angriffslebenszyklus – von Phishing und Identitätsvortäuschung über Aufklärung und Ausnutzung bis hin zu lateralen Bewegungen. Da Angreifer KI nutzen, um schneller vorzugehen und sich in Echtzeit anzupassen, benötigen Organisationen neue Methoden, um zu überprüfen, ob ihre Abwehrmaßnahmen mithalten können. In dieser Session untersuchen wir, wie Organisationen KI-gestützte adversariale Tests einsetzen können, um ihre tatsächliche Exposition über die gesamte Angriffsfläche hinweg zuverlässig zu validieren. So lässt sich erkennen, was wirklich ausnutzbar ist, die Behebung beschleunigen und das Risiko reduzieren, bevor Angreifer aktiv werden können. 

AI Security im Fokus: Schutz von KI-Anwendungen mit TrendAI Vision One
Eric Jung, Senior Sales Engineer, TrendAI

Künstliche Intelligenz revolutioniert Geschäftsprozesse, birgt jedoch neue Sicherheitsrisiken. Dieser Vortrag beleuchtet aktuelle Herausforderungen und Bedrohungen im Bereich AI Security und zeigt, wie Unternehmen ihre KI-Anwendungen effektiv schützen können. Anhand von Praxisbeispielen wird erläutert, wie TrendAI Vision One AI Application Security innovative Schutzmechanismen bereitstellt – von der Erkennung adversarialer Angriffe bis zur Sicherstellung der Datenintegrität. Teilnehmer erhalten Einblicke in Best Practices, Automatisierungsmöglichkeiten und Compliance-Aspekte, um die Sicherheit ihrer KI-Anwendungen nachhaltig zu stärken und vertrauenswürdige KI-Lösungen zu etablieren.

The Unleveling Effect: How AI Is Reshaping the Attacker-Defender Dynamic and What Security Teams Need to Know
Steve Povolny, VP AI Strategy & Security Research, exabeam

Artificial intelligence is fundamentally reshaping security operations – but not equally. While AI amplifies both attacker and defender capabilities, the playing field is tilting in ways that create both new vulnerabilities and new imperatives for detection and response. This session explores the operational realities of AI-driven security transformation: how automation is accelerating threats, what behavioral analytics and human-guided AI reveal about emerging tactics, and why visibility across human and non-human actors has become non-negotiable.
Building Forward:
Designed for security leaders navigating this shift, this session takes a strategic industry perspective on what’s actually changing in threat landscapes and SOC operations. We’ll look at how Exabeam is leading the charge; using behavioral analytics, integrated detection of autonomous agent deployment and execution, human-guided AI-assisted investigations, and unified visibility across human and non-human actors to maintain control. The focus is on how security teams can orchestrate both AI and human expertise to defend effectively in an increasingly AI-native threat environment.

After AI Triage: The Era of the Self-Healing SOC
Abdullah Kartal, Country Manager DACH, Qevlar AI

AI proved it can triage and investigate alerts. The SOC got faster. But faster isn’t enough against AI-enabled attackers compounding daily. Defences are still fragmented: tools don’t share context, knowledge doesn’t travel, and security teams still operate in silos. Join Abdullah Kartal, Country Manager DACH at Qevlar AI, for a discussion on what comes next in AI SOC: moving beyond speed toward a continuously compounding defence — and the emergence of the self-improving SOC. He’ll share perspectives on how security teams can evolve from isolated investigations to systems that learn, adapt, and strengthen with every alert.
