OWASP Meeting in Krakow - AI+security

Join us for an engaging evening focused on securing web applications. In this meetup, we will dive into the world of application security, exploring the latest trends, best practices, and techniques to protect web applications from potential threats. Our knowledgeable speakers will cover a wide range of topics including....

OK - AI generated description is probably not working for our meetups. Let's do it old fashioned way:

Hi,

OWASP is a worldwide, non-profit organisation focused on application security issues and we are a Polish chapter of this initiative.

This time we want to talk about AI and it's influence on our industry and our work. We have invited Karol Przystalski from Codete, who will share his thoughts about security of ML models. Then we will have a discussion about how wide use of generative AI in coding will influence application security.

Agenda:

1. Machine learning security (Karol Przystalski)
2. Machine learning (ML) and other terms related to it became buzzwords. Many companies would like to introduce machine learning models, even if there are simpler solutions. In the presentation, we show recent security issues related to machine learning models. Next, we do an overview of possible security issues that can happen during building such models. Finally, we demonstrate how to prevent the most popular security problems related to ML on the examples of applications in e-commerce, fintech, and other sectors.
3. After the break, we will be hosting a discussion on how AI and Generative AI impact the security of application code. Are AI-powerd tools a boon or a potential risk? What risks emerge when software engineers start using GenAI? Is the code produced by GenAI more or less secure? Are tools designed for code, such as GitHub Copilot and AWS CodeWhisperer, superior to GPT? Everyone is welcome and encouraged to participate in the discussion. Share your experiences and thoughts, exchange the latest insights, and learn from each other. Whether you are an experienced software engineer, a newcomer to the world of AI, or simply curious about the influence of Generative AI on code security, your perspective is valuable.
4. There will be also a room for short lightning talks with discussion (typical format is 5-10 minute talk followed by 5-10 minute discussion). Please submit your ideas or just show up.
5. Job announcements. If you are an employer, there will be a chance to present who you are looking for.

Please RSVP and save the date!

If you have a minute, please share this with friends and in social media.

We would like to thank Codete for enabling us to organise our meetups in their Techie's Space.
