The Security of Things

Hey - we got any hackaahs heeah?
MinuteCon is Boston's first new cyber conference in a long time, and it is happening on April 30 and May 1st, 2027 in Cambridge. Sign up now.

And, if you've got some research, technology, policy ideas or other cyber-related content to share with the community, the MinuteCon Call for Papers is now open through Jan 15th.

You can submit a talk proposal here: https://sessionize.com/MinuteCon

This is going to be a great event with 20-45 min talks spanning categories including (but not limited to):

• Offensive Security - Exploitation, red team trade-craft, novel attack research and tooling. If you built it to break things, we want to hear about it.

• Defense & Detection - Threat hunting, incident response, and blue team operational tooling. The people holding the line deserve the same stage as the people crossing it.

• Application Security - Web, mobile, and API vulnerabilities. Secure-by-design architecture. The bugs that keep shipping because no one talks about why.

• Hardware & Embedded - IoT, firmware analysis, RF, and physical security research. The attack surface nobody patches.

• AI Security - Attacking and defending machine learning systems: model exploitation, prompt injection, data poisoning, and securing the tools everyone is suddenly shipping to production.

• National Security & Policy - Securing our nation and our infrastructure. Where security meets law, regulation, and disclosure. The rules that shape what researchers are allowed to do, and the people writing them.
