4 години споделяме знание! Създаваме сигурност. Празнуваме заедно! Настъпи момент да отпразнуваме заедно **4-тата** **ГОДИШНИНА на Cyber Security Talks Bulgaria**. Този път без домакин и по много по-различен начин. Заповядайте на нашето парти в Art Bar 158 на **20.05**. Вече 4 години създаваме общност, споделяме опит, мнение и научени уроци, защото така вярваме, че ще постигнем по-сигурно Киберпространство за всички нас. Стъпвайки отново фраза от добре познатия ни сериал „Бар Наздраве“ : „Where everybody knows your name“, бихме казали, че Cyber Security Talks Bulgaria се утвърди като място, където всеки е добре дошъл. На 20 май това място е „Art Bar 158” (ул. „Княз Борис I“ 158). Подготвили сме една по-различна от обичайното програма, но ще я разкриваме постепенно. Както казваше един знаменит българин „Часът и мястото на срещата са известни“ – Часът е обичайният, дата - нестандартна, мястото – различни от всяко до момента. **Всеки гост на нашето парти ще получи подарък. Първото питие е от нас.** Ела на едно по-различно събитие с quiz, жива музика и приятни моменти. Бъди част от общността!

Please join us on May 20th for an amazing co-hosted practical meetup with the Data Science Society! ## What can you expect? ​This hands-on workshop explores how modern AI tools are changing everyday software engineering. Participants will see practical, real-world examples of how developers use tools like Kiro, Claude Code, Windsurf, and Cursor to write, debug, refactor, and understand code more efficiently. ​The session focuses on concrete use cases - speeding up feature development, improving code quality, navigating large codebases, and integrating AI into existing development cycles. It will give attendees a clear view of what “AI-augmented development” looks like in practice. ## ​Who will present? ​We have 4 speakers : * ​Rosen Krumov * ​Borislava Bagaliyska * ​Petar Ivanov * ​Viktor Botev ​Soon we will announce a bit more about the concrete expertize and focus of each of them! # ​Official partner ​For this meet-up our official partner is [iris.ai](https://iris.ai/?utm_source=luma). ​[Iris.ai](https://iris.ai/?utm_source=luma) is the AI Development and Operation Platform for building secure, high-performance Agentic RAG systems. ​Event is free but registration is mandatory: https://luma.com/bz9lg7aq
