**Agentic AI trifft Cybersecurity – Wenn intelligente Agenten außer Kontrolle geraten** **Die nächste Evolutionsstufe der künstlichen Intelligenz ist bereits da:** Agentic AI Systeme, die eigenständig planen, Entscheidungen treffen und handeln – oft ohne menschliche Kontrolle. Doch was passiert, wenn genau diese Autonomie zur Gefahr wird? KI-Agenten, die täuschend echte Phishing-Angriffe erstellen, Sicherheitsmechanismen in Echtzeit umgehen oder Netzwerke wie digitale Schläfer infiltrieren – das ist keine Zukunftsmusik mehr. Es passiert bereits heute. Bei diesem exklusiven Abend-Event diskutieren zwei Experten an der Schnittstelle von AI und Cybersecurity über die Risiken, Chancen und die Realität autonomer KI-Systeme. **Dr. Jeannette Gorzala**, Gründerin und CEO von ACT AI NOW sowie Vice Chair des AI Boards der österreichischen Bundesregierung, engagiert sich aktiv für AI Literacy, den European AI Act und die verantwortungsvolle Gestaltung von Künstlicher Intelligenz in Europa. Darüber hinaus bringt sie ihre Expertise als Mitglied der GPAIM Working Groups des EU AI Office der Europäischen Kommission in die europäische KI-Strategie und Regulierung ein. NEOB Technology GmbH Gründer und CEO **Ed Prinz** gibt Einblicke in moderne Agentic-AI-Architekturen – von autonomen Tools und Multi-Step-Reasoning bis hin zu realen Anwendungen im Bereich Voice AI und Business Automation. Dabei geht es auch um die entscheidende Frage: Wo verschwimmt die Grenze zwischen hilfreichen und potenziell gefährlichen KI-Agenten? CyberTrap CEO **Adi Reschenhofer** zeigt, wie moderne Deception-Technologien Angreifer in die Falle locken – mit Honeypots, Decoys und KI-gestützten Täuschungsmechanismen. Wenn KI gegen KI kämpft, verändert sich das Spielfeld der Cybersicherheit grundlegend. Gemeinsam sprechen sie über Themen, die Unternehmen und CISOs zunehmend beschäftigen: • Kann man einem KI-Agenten vertrauen, den man nicht selbst entwickelt hat? • Wie verteidigt man sich gegen Angriffe, die lernen und sich weiterentwickeln? • Ist die Cybersecurity-Branche schnell genug – oder sind Angreifer bereits voraus? ## Event Details 📅 **Datum:** 3\. Juni 2026 🕔 **Einlass:** ab 17:00 Uhr 🕕 **Start:** 18:00 Uhr 📍 **Location:** Boston Consulting Group Address: Postgasse 10, 1010 Wien Sprache: Deutsch 🎟 **Eintritt frei** ⚠️ Begrenzte Plätze – First Come, First Served. Drinks & Snacks sind vor Ort vorhanden.

Hi everyone! I am happy to share the second (and much belated) event of this group in Vienna: an ice cream crawl! This crawl will start downtown, and we'll go to 4 or 5 ice cream spots. Splitting is encouraged, and I'll bring some bowls we can use to easily split/share ice cream, so everyone can try each stop without having a eat an entire scoop. After the last stop, we'll go hang in the park. Itinerary is below! \- Stop 1: Tichy \- Reumannpl\. 13\, 1100 \- Stop 2: Gelateria del romana \- Maysedergasse 4\, 1010 \- Stop 3: Ferrari Gelato \- Annagasse 3/3A\, 1010 \- Stop 4: Eissalon Caffè Perrella \- Dr\.\-Karl\-Lueger\-Platz 2\, 1010 Some other information: * this event is sunshine-only: if it is quite cloudy/cold or raining, we'll postpone * Bring a blanket to sit on at the park afterwards * You can join anytime throughout the crawl, as I'll post updates when we head to the next location. However, during the crawl I won't be able to respond to individual messages. Finally, some reminders: * Please keep your rsvp up to date if you can't make it, to let folks on the waitlist have a chance to come. If you're on the waitlist but really want to come feel free to message me and it will probably happen. But if you're on the waitlist and haven't confirmed with me please don't come. * There is a strict no-harrasment policy. If someone tells you to stop doing something, stop immediately. If anyone is making you uncomfortable, let a host know right away.

Dodgeball is back again! If you’ve been wanting to come out, this is an easy one to join. We’ll be playing for about 1.5 to 2 hours, you do not need to bring any equipment, and no experience is needed.
