SPEAKERS AND TALKS

Panagiotis Christodoulou | Software Developer | IBM | Ireland
Exploring LLM Memorization of Encrypted Data
This talk introduces and explores Memorization of Encrypted Data (MED), a technique for embedding and retrieving hidden encrypted information inside large language models by utilizing Out of Distribution (OOD) datasets. As LLMs continue to scale, concerns are rising about their potential misuse for storing and sharing sensitive or malicious information. In worst-case scenarios, popular LLMs could be used as vectors for illegally sharing copyrighted material, spreading malware, or other harmful content. Backed by real experimental results, this talk demonstrates how MED operates in practice and highlights its implications for LLM security and potential misuse.

Sergey Belov | Director of Information Security | Acronis | Bulgaria
Model Context Protocol (MCP) Security for Security Researchers, Red Teamers, and LLM Engineers
Often, when learning foreign languages, we hire a teacher who also knows our native language. Let's do the same—draw a parallel between "traditional" OS/Web security issues and MCP-related ones.

Valeriy Tiukhmenev | Application Security Engineer | Exness
Security Bot 2.0: More than a service
When building the perfect solution, changes can happen even in stable environments. A solution that seems flexible may need to be even more flexible. To achieve this, community support is important, and open source helps us with that. We’ll explain how we moved from the original Security Bot, introduced at Behind the Code Meetup some time ago, to a new approach with a powerful open-source orchestration and automation engine.

Meet Security Bot 2.0 – it’s no longer just a service, but a whole new approach. We hope it works even better now!

Andrei Beriukhov | Senior Android Engineer | Wheely
Runtime Mobile Application Security by the example of Google Play Services
As mobile applications increasingly handle sensitive and financial data, understanding security frameworks is essential for protecting both users and organizational assets. Participants will gain insights into Android’s built-in protection mechanisms provided by Google Play Services, along with practical comparisons to their iOS counterparts.

After the presentations, we organize a shisha lounge to chill and start insightful conversations with like-minded people. Join us, and let's enjoy a fantastic evening together!
