Hack & Defend Summit & Training 2025

macOS combines a layered security model with a variety of enforcement mechanisms, including consent-based controls, code integrity validation, sandboxing, and runtime protections.

Large Language Models (LLMs) like ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini are increasingly being integrated into enterprise environments for the purposes of automation, analytics, and decision-making.

Adversarial exploitation of medical devices, robotics, and smart hospital systems has emerged as a critical challenge as healthcare environments embrace interconnected, IoT enabled equipment.

In the evolving landscape of cybersecurity, defenders face the challenge of distinguishing malicious activities from benign ones, particularly when dealing with ambiguous techniques--those whose observables lack sufficient clarity to determine intent with certainty.

Kubernetes and container platforms have transformed deployment speed-but they also obscure post-exploitation activity behind abstraction layers.

As enterprise platforms quietly integrate AI features into productivity suites, CRMs, and collaboration tools, Blue Teams are left blind to where data is flowing, what models are learning, and how risk is propagating.

Technical findings alone don't drive change-risk-informed insights do. In this talk, we'll explore how red and purple team activities can evolve from isolated exercises into enterprise-level enablers that directly inform mission resilience, operational risk decisions, and business prioritization.
