**Meetup Event:** AI vs. AI: Battling Automated Social Engineering with Next-Gen DevSecOps

The field of cybersecurity is changing dramatically. With social engineering being used in 98% of cyberattacks, attackers are increasingly using AI as a weapon to produce voice cloning schemes, real-time deepfake impersonations, and hyper-realistic phishing campaigns on a never-before-seen scale. By taking advantage of the one factor that our traditional security mechanisms are unable to protect: human psychology, these attacks get around conventional security measures.

Join us for an engaging session as we explore how AI is increasingly being used by cybercriminals to create social engineering assaults that are remarkably realistic, ranging from perfect phishing emails to deepfake video chats. This seminar looks at how these advanced threats operate and, most importantly, how to counter them. We'll discuss how to use AI in your own DevSecOps procedures to identify irregularities, anticipate dangers, and automate your defences against the upcoming wave of AI-powered assaults.

📅 **Date:** 30 August 2025

**Securing your code by design**
Join DevSecCon Netherland for an exciting Meetup hosted at [Alliander](https://www.alliander.com/en/) offices in Arnhem with fantastic talks!
**Talk 1: Got \`Any\` excuses? How to write secure TypeScript code by design**
*Speaker: Michael Koppmann - Senior information security consultant @ SBA Research*
Although TypeScript is growing in popularity, many of these codebases still suffer from security problems that are commonly found in JavaScript code. Developers are technically using TypeScript, including all the additional complexity that comes with it, without fully utilizing the benefits that this technology provides.
In this talk, we will explore how TypeScript can be leveraged to improve security by design, starting with quick wins. We will discuss several TypeScript compiler flags that enforce stricter type safety, such as discouraging the use of the \`Any\` type, and how these simple adjustments can significantly reduce risk.
From there, we will dive into lesser known patterns from functional languages like Sum/Union types or pattern matching and how they can be used in TypeScript to write more robust code.

**Talk 2: Think like a hacker - Threat modeling your own application!**

*Speaker: Carlo Klerk is security coach/ security specialist en helpt bedrijven om zelfstandig te worden op ICT security gebied. Voordat hij in 2007 security specialist werd was Carlo een hacker (“script kiddy”) en pentester.*

**Join for the talks, stay for the 🍻 & 🍕**
