Cloud Security Dark Patterns: The Misconfigurations You Don’t See Until It’s Too Late
Every cloud breach leaves the same clues behind: open storage, forgotten IAM roles, exposed APIs, and permissive network rules. I’ll show you how these slip through reviews, how attackers chain them into full compromise, and the exact hardening steps that would have stopped them. If you run cloud workloads, this session will change how you look at your configs.
Target Audience: Developers, DevOps, SREs, Security Engineers, Cloud Architects
Technical Level: Intermediate (assumes basic familiarity with cloud services)
Delivery Notes: Live demo optional if conference supports internet access
Status: First public delivery
AI Agents and Cybersecurity: Securing Intelligent Workflows
AI Agents and Copilots are redefining how businesses automate workflows, build productivity, and scale. But as organizations embrace these tools, they are also opening new attack surfaces: data leakage, prompt injection, and malicious use of automation.
In this session, we’ll explore the intersection of AI agents and cybersecurity:
The hidden risks of deploying AI agents in real-world environments.
Case studies of vulnerabilities in AI-driven workflows.
Frameworks for securing AI pipelines before attackers exploit them.
How AI can be turned into a defensive force multiplier for Security Operations Centers (SOC).
This talk equips developers, IT professionals, and business leaders with strategic and actionable insights to balance innovation with resilience.
