AWS User group Milano - Meetup di Giugno
**DOVE**: [Subbyx](https://www.subbyx.com) \- Via G\.B\. Pergolesi 2/A\, Milano \(M1\, M2 \- Loreto\)\.
**QUANDO**: 04 giugno 2026 alle 18.30
**TEMA**: Cloud networking avanzato e Intelligenza Artificiale applicata al mondo reale. Nella sede di **Subbyx**, uniremo due dei temi più caldi dell'ecosistema tech in un'unica serata. Da un lato, **Kenneth Attard, AWS Hero,** ci mostrerà come modernizzare le reti enterprise combinando AWS Cloud WAN e Amazon VPC Lattice; dall'altro, il team di **Subbyx** ci aprirà il loro playbook per svelarci come portare l'AI in produzione per risolvere problemi concreti.
A seguire il classico aperitivo di networking, gentilmente offerto da **Subbyx**.
\-\-\-
**AGENDA**
👋 18.30 - Welcome!
☁️ 18.45 - Introduzione - **Francesco Durighetto** Duri Chief Research and Development Officer, Co-Founder di Subbix.
🎤 18.50 - Discover how to modernize enterprise networking by combining AWS Cloud WAN and Amazon VPC Lattice - **Kenneth Attard** (talk in inglese).
🎤 19:20 - AI that works: our real-world playbook - **Davide Fiacconi** Senior Data Scientist di Subbyx.
🍻 19.50 - Aperitivo di Networking
\-\-\-
**TALK**
**"Discover how to modernize enterprise networking by combining AWS Cloud WAN and Amazon VPC Lattice"**
**Kennet Attard -** AWS Hero (talk in inglese)
Discover how to modernize enterprise networking by combining AWS Cloud WAN and Amazon VPC Lattice. This session explores the seamless integration of these services to create a unified networking solution that simplifies connectivity across your organization.
Learn how to leverage Cloud WAN for global network management while using VPC Lattice for service-to-service communication, reducing complexity and improving security.
We'll share real-world architectures and best practices for implementing a modern, scalable network infrastructure in AWS.
**"AI that works: our real-world playbook"**
**Davide Fiacconi** \- Senior Data Scientist di Subbyx
Tutti stanno rilasciando demo di AI.
Portare l'AI in produzione — dove ci sono clienti reali, flussi di lavoro reali e soldi veri in gioco — è tutta un'altra storia.
Da Subbyx non facciamo pilot: gestiamo sistemi AI che parlano con i nostri utenti ogni giorno e su cui si appoggia ogni team dell'azienda.
In questo talk ripercorreremo due casi reali.
Il primo è Rosie, il nostro agente per il customer care che gestisce le richieste degli utenti in autonomia, dall'inizio alla fine.
Il secondo è la nostra piattaforma AI interna, costruita interamente su open source — LiteLLM, LibreChat e server MCP — per dare a ogni dipendente accesso a più modelli attraverso un'unica interfaccia centralizzata e governata.
Uscirete con decisioni architetturali concrete, i trade-off che le hanno guidate e le lezioni che avremmo voluto sentirci dire prima di iniziare.

Bug Bounty, Ethical Hacking & the Art of Triage in Modern Security Programs
The Milano Cybersecurity Meetup returns with an edition dedicated to offensive security and Bug Bounty programs, no longer just about finding vulnerabilities, but about managing noise, prioritizing risk, and building trust between organizations and security researchers. The event focuses on the role of the Ethical Hacker and the critical, often misunderstood, role of the triager, the professional who bridges vulnerability discovery with actionable remediation.The meetup will close with a talk by Sw33tLie, one of the main contributors to PortSwigger’s latest research, exploring the discovery and exploitation of HTTP Request Smuggling vulnerabilities in modern architectures.
This evening event combines focused technical talks with an informal aperitivo atmosphere, where hoodies replace ties and technical content meets open discussion and networking.
Co-organized with UNGUESS Security, a European Continuous Offensive Platform backed by a community of 200+ vetted ethical hackers and AI agents, the event offers a unique chance to hear from practitioners on different sides of the hacking process. The event will also welcome representatives from Intigriti, including Alex Olsen, Head of Hackers, who will join us to make the evening even more exciting.
## **Key Themes & Takeaways**
*“Today, being an ethical hacker means staying ahead of attackers, finding the bugs and fixing risk before it’s exploited by malicious actors.”*
* Finding bugs for learning, passion, and profit, and building a legal career path by hacking real organizations responsibly
* What makes a great triager in bug hunting programs - skills, mindset, and career paths
* How triage quality impacts program ROI, security outcomes, and researcher trust
* Dealing with AI-generated submissions ("AI slop") and the triager’s evolving role as quality gatekeeper, separating signal from noise
* Some of the most impactful vulnerabilities originate from protocol‑level flaws, turning seemingly theoretical research into systemic risk for large‑scale infrastructures and forcing modern triage to reassess impact and prioritization
## **Agenda**
* **Talk #1 — My path to Bug Bounty (Leo Racanelli, Intigriti Ambassador)**
Hacking real organizations (legally) for fun and profit
* **Talk #2 — Anatomy of a Triage: From vulnerability submission to validation (Marco Mazzola, UNGUESS Triager)**
What happens between “submission received” and “vulnerability confirmed.” A deep dive into the triager’s workflow
What researchers wish triagers understood. How triage quality shapes submission quality and vice versa
How AI-generated submissions are flooding programs, why most are noise, and what a good triage policy looks like
* **Talk #3 — Mutations of a Bug: Where HTTP Smuggling Is Heading (Paolo Arnolfo, aka Sw33tLie — 1st researcher on the Portugal Bugcrowd leaderboard)**
An evolution-driven look at HTTP Request Smuggling: how exploitation techniques mutate over time, why old assumptions no longer hold, and what this means for modern triage, detection, and remediation

🎾 Milan Startup Padel – Founders & Rebels #29
*This club is for founders, VCs, operators, and startup ecosystem players — past, present, and future.*
Padel is one of those games you can pick up at any point in your life and immediately enjoy. You don't need to be fit, you don't need a background in racket sports, you just need to show up. The court is small enough that nothing feels out of reach, and the glass walls do half the work for you.
What makes it special is that you actually talk while you play. Between points, during rallies, after a shot that somehow worked — there's a natural rhythm to padel that makes conversation easy. You get to know your partner in a way that just doesn't happen sitting across a table.
We had a rally once that went on so long everyone stopped caring who won the point. That's kind of the spirit of the whole thing.
**🎯 What to Expect**
**Two courts, at least 8 players** — we rotate and run mini-tournaments when numbers allow. All levels, always.
**Real conversations** — with your partner, between points, after the game. No agenda.
**Competitive but Chill** — good plays, better laughs, and a rematch culture. 🔄
**💸 €15 per person** — pay before the game: [paypal.me/alexbing2](paypal.me/alexbing2) Paying upfront keeps the courts full and the group reliable. No last-minute ghosts. Arrive 15 minutes early to warm up and meet people.
**⚠️ Cancellation Policy**
Cancel at least 2 days before if you can't make it — someone on the waiting list will be very happy to take your spot. No-shows without notice lose their €15 deposit and get moved to the waiting list for future events.
p.s. If you don't see so many players registered on Meetup, you can check another channel - Luma [https://luma.com/hgovr5co](https://luma.com/hgovr5co)

SOCIAL DRINKING GAMES
**🍻 SOCIAL DRINKING GAMES**
Ice-breakers? Boring. We prefer cups, rules you’ll forget in 5 minutes, and instant friendships. Lose the game, take a sip. Win the game, take a sip anyway.

Marketing Monday Networking
Monthly working lunch for Columbus business owners. One specific topic, one to three actions you can run this week.
You can be the best at what you do and still be invisible. If local buyers cannot find you, the phone does not ring.
Marketing Monday Lunch + Learn is a monthly working lunch for Columbus business owners focused on building relationships, local networking, and local marketing. Every kind of local business welcome. No pitch round, no pressure, no upsell.
**This month**
Most local businesses pick one or two places to be visible and call it good. The result is inconsistent calls and a feeling that marketing is not working. We will walk through the three places every local business needs to show up, plus the fourth place most owners ignore that quietly produces the warmest leads.
**What to expect**
Doors open at noon. Order lunch and drinks at the cafe counter or bring your own. You get real conversation with other local owners and a focused marketing lesson. You leave knowing people and with one to three actions to run that week. The room is reserved through 1:30 PM.
**Who this is for**
Any local business owner who wants clearer marketing direction and real local relationships. Service businesses, retail, home services, professional services, online owners building local presence, anyone serious about being part of the Columbus business community.
**Not the right fit if**
You are here to pitch the room or recruit for an MLM.
**Details**
* Second Monday of every month
* 12:00 to 1:30 PM
* Good Cafe Easton, 4400 Easton Commons, Ste 150, Columbus, OH 43219
