OWASP Frankfurt #63 - GenAI Security

Hi all, we are delighted to host the next in-person event in Frankfurt! This time we have a special focus on GenAI security, where will we have a range of talks delivered by leaders within the AI security space. There will also be plenty of time to socialize before and after the event.

_What's going to happen?
We look forward to welcoming you to our OWASP Frankfurt Meetup with a strong focus in Security in Generative AI hosted by CHECK24.

_What are we going to talk about?
Talk 1 - The Dark Side Of Large Language Models: Uncovering And Overcoming Of Code Vulnerabilities

Javan Rasokat - Senior Security Specialist at Sage, Researcher and Lecturer at DHBW, Germany

In his talk, Javan will discuss the role of large language models in cybersecurity, highlighting both their potential and pitfalls. Using GitHub Copilot as a case study, he'll emphasize the importance of secure coding practices and manual code reviews in AI-driven development.

Talk 2 - Seeing is Not Always Believing: The Rise, Detection, and Evasion of Deepfakes

Niklas Bunzel, PhD student at TU-Darmstadt and research scientist at Fraunhofer Institute for Secure Information Technology (SIT) and the National Research Centre for Applied Cybersecurity - ATHENE

Raphael Antonius Frick, research fellow at Fraunhofer Institute for Secure Information Technology (SIT) and the National Research Centre for Applied Cybersecurity - ATHENE

In an era where digital information dominates, the saying “seeing is believing” has been cast into doubt with the emergence of deepfakes — AI-generated media that manipulates reality. This talk delves into the sophisticated technologies behind the creation of these deceptive videos and images. We’ll explore cutting-edge methods for detecting such manipulations, ensuring the authenticity of digital content. However, as detection techniques advance, so too do evasion strategies, including adversarial attacks and prompt injection methods. This poses the question: Can we still believe everything that we see?

_Afterwards?
We will pre- and conclude the evening with the possibility of socializing at the venue with free food and cold & hot drinks kindly provided by CHECK24.

_When?
Our Meetup takes place on 29.11.2023 from 18.00 to 21.30 o'clock CEST.

_Where?
CHECK24 Frankfurt is located at Speicherstraße 55 in Frankfurt am Main, ca. 15min within walking distance of Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof.
