6:25 - 7:00 Mythos: Or How I Grew to Stop Worrying and Love Defense - @Bryson Bort
Bryson dissects the wave of marketing-driven FUD coming out of Anthropic and similar AI vendors that paints offensive AI as an imminent, unstoppable force. Drawing on real-world offensive experience, this talk separates hype from reality: today’s frontier models remain brittle tool-users rather than self-directed cyber threats. We examine the actual offense-defense imbalance in AI-augmented security, why current “offensive AI” narratives often serve commercial positioning more than technical truth, and how defenders can leverage the same AI capabilities to dramatically shorten detection, response, and remediation cycles without buying into the mythos.
7:05 - 7:50 One Click Compromise - @tuckner
Malware deployed as browser and code extension in marketplaces isn't slowing down and is becoming increasingly brazen. Often compromising user's most sensitive data in a single click, this talk covers the most interesting attacks seen and how marketplace maintainers like Google and Microsoft have (or haven't) responded.
7:50 - ??? Mad Beatz by the amazing @j0nny54l1v3
