0x24 Wellington Meetup at Bastion on Think Like an Attacker to Secure AI
Bastion Security Wellington, Level 8, 10 Brandon Street, Wellington, NZWe’re excited to bring another interactive Hack the Box (HTB) meetup to Wellington! Our speaker for this event is Will Frame from Bastion Security Group who will be presenting the talk: "Think Like an Attacker to Secure AI".
Generative AI and AI agents are transforming how organisations operate, but they are also creating entirely new attack surfaces. Prompt injection, tool abuse, and sensitive data leakage are no longer theoretical risks; they are techniques being exploited in the wild against real-world AI applications.
This hands-on night takes participants into the mindset of an AI attacker. Drawing on Will's real-world experience assessing and exploiting AI systems, you'll learn how modern AI applications can be manipulated and what organisations can do to build resilient AI solutions.
