19:15 - 20:00 - **False Clear Ahead - When Agents Derail Your Defenses** by **Rens van Dongen**
20:00 - 20:15 - **Break**
20:15 - 21:00 - **Bot vs. Bash: How Modern Threat Actors are Actually Using AI** by **Daniel Kapellmann Zafra**
**False Clear Ahead - When Agents Derail Your Defenses**
**Abstract:**
AI agents that pass an initial security review can still derail through prompt injection, tool poisoning, or destructive overalignment — the “false clear.” Drawing on recent research, real-world incidents, and AI governance at Dutch Railways, this talk explores how agentic AI reshapes the enterprise attack surface and what defense-in-depth strategies help you govern agents without blocking innovation.
**Bio:**
AI Governance and Cybersecurity strategist, specializing in responsible AI and secure software policy for the Dutch Railways. Experienced CISO in Retail Banking, Media Broadcasting and Enterprise Software industries. Balancing engineering background with a pragmatic, people-centric approach. Credentials include AIGP, CISSP, CISM, CCSP, CIPP/e, and Lead Implementer ISO/IEC 42001:2023 (AIMS).
**Bot vs. Bash: How Modern Threat Actors are Actually Using AI**
**Abstract:**
Generative AI has rapidly shifted to become a defining element of the modern threat landscape. This has resulted in great interest from a cybersecurity perspective and numerous discussions about its potential impacts. However, moving beyond speculation, this session presents real-world observations from the front lines of threat intelligence to demonstrate exactly how adversaries are utilizing these tools today.
We will explore how state-sponsored APTs and financially motivated actors integrate Large Language Models (LLMs) to sharpen the quality of social engineering, reconnaissance, and code generation. Rather than focusing on “super-malware” theories, we dive into specific “in the wild” use cases to provide defenders with the practical context needed to identify and counter AI-augmented threats within their own environments.
**Bio:**
Daniel Kapellmann Zafra is Technology Strategy Lead in Google Threat Intelligence, where he designs the future of large-scale investigative frameworks. With a specialized background in Information Operations (IO) and Cyber-Physical threats, Daniel has spent his career working with different threat intelligence teams to scale the breadth and depth of intelligence investigations. He currently spearheads initiatives at the intersection of AI and threat intelligence, focusing on how emerging AI ecosystems redefine both the threat landscape and the efficiency of modern cybersecurity. A former Fulbright Scholar and University of Washington Informatics alumnus, Daniel was previously recognized by the Kaspersky Academy Talent Lab for innovation in security architecture.

Queer Book Club: Confessions of a Mask
Come discuss books and make new friends 🌈✨
How the meeting works: While we are waiting for everyone to arrive, we have tea and get comfortable. Once most of the group is seated (please aim to arrive on time to help with this!) we go around introducing ourselves. From there we have a loosely structured discussion that can go in whatever direction feels natural. Once we've talked about everything we want to related to the book we often hang out for a while later to chat about other things for anyone who wants to stay.
April's book will be Confessions of a Mask by Yukio Mishima. The Dutch translation (Bekentenissen van een gemaskerde) is available at de bibliotheek. The English translation unfortunately has to be procured elsewhere.
Confessions of a Mask tells the story of Kochan, an adolescent boy tormented by his burgeoning attraction to men: he wants to be “normal.” Kochan is meek-bodied, and unable to participate in the more athletic activities of his classmates. He begins to notice his growing attraction to some of the boys in his class, particularly the pubescent body of his friend Omi. To hide his homosexuality, he courts a woman, Sonoko, but this exacerbates his feelings for men. As news of the War reaches Tokyo, Kochan considers the fate of Japan and his place within its deeply rooted propriety.
Confessions of a Mask reflects Mishima’s own coming of age in post-war Japan. Its publication in English―praised by Gore Vidal, James Baldwin, and Christopher Isherwood―propelled the young Yukio Mishima to international fame.
The meeting will take place at De Uithoek handarbeidlokaal, an 8 minute cycle / 20 minute walk away from Utrecht Centraal.
Everyone is welcome who has read the book (or DNF, and is okay with spoilers) by the time of the meetup. The book club is hosted in English.
Please update your RSVP if you find out you cannot attend. Hope to see you there! 🏳️🌈📚

Shut Up & Write! [Amsterdam/ IJburg]
Join us for an hour of writing! We’ve discovered that it’s strikingly helpful to write with other writers. See if it’s true for you at Factor-ij Amsterdam on Thursday mornings.
Be it a book, blog, script, essay, dissertation, resume, melody, poem or just plain work stuff, you are invited to write it with us. No one will see what you've written or give you unsolicited advice. Instead of just thinking about writing, come and get some real writing done.
SCHEDULE:
11: 15 AM - Quick introductions
11: 30 AM - Timer starts: write for 1 hour
12: 30 PM - The End: chat, take off, or keep writing
OPTIONAL SOCIALIZING happens at 12:30 pm after the writing is wrapped. Writing is very solitary. Connecting (and sometimes even commiserating) with other writers is a cool thing.
BEING LATE IS OKAY: just show up and get settled, then check-in with me after the session. (I’ll be the person with the Shut Up & Write! sign.) If you were on time, please be willing to make room for the friendly latecomer.
Happy writing and I look forward to seeing you at Factor-ij!
What Should I Bring?
Whatever you need to be able to write!
Bring earbuds/earplugs if you want to block the cafe’s overhead music or the occasional conversation by other patrons.
Please come with your devices pre-charged, since we probably won't be always sitting somewhere with charging possibilities.
Other Important Details:
Travel by public transportation:
1. Take Tram 26 from the central station Amsterdam, and step out by the last stop.
2. Take bus 66 from the Amsterdam Bijlmer station, step out by Pieter Oosterhuisstraat, and further walk in the direction of the bus till the corner.
FREE Wifi.
Compulsory consumption is not required, but please do order a drink to honor our generous host.

Our lovely host **Gisele** will be there to welcome you and introduce you to a few friendly faces. Whether you come solo or with friends, you're guaranteed a warm vibe and some easy laughs before the comedy even starts! 🐮
**From 15:00 - The Show!**
Mad Cow Comedy hosts an afternoon of stand-up comedy performed by various international acts, all performing in English. Utrecht-based comedian, Rachel Morton-Young, introduces a different mix of comedians every 2 weeks, so no two shows are ever the same.
**Kartoffel:**
Our show now takes place in the Biergarten at Kartoffel, a German-themed restaurant along the historic Oudegracht (only a 10 minutes walk from Utrecht Central Station). The venue has great, affordable food, so considering coming early for lunch, or staying for a bite after the show.
🐮 **Hosted by Rachel Morton-Young**
Rachel brings the energy, warmth and cheeky charm Mad Cow Comedy is known for. She’s a British comic living in Utrecht and the mastermind behind these monthly mayhem-filled shows.
**Line-ups:**

**Desiree Burch (Headliner)**
Critically acclaimed comedian and TV regular (*Live at the Apollo*, *Taskmaster*, *QI*), known for her razor-sharp wit and powerhouse stage presence.

Award-winning comedian delivering warm, crowd-pleasing material with a relatable edge. A regular on festival stages across the UK and Europe.
**Rami Nima**
Dark, dry, and cleverly offbeat, with a subtle delivery that sneaks up on you. Winner of the Griffioen Comedy Festival 2021.
**Stylophobia**
Unpredictable and distinctive — bringing something a little different (and delightfully strange) to the lineup.
**Upcoming Dates:**
* 19th April 2026

* 31st May 2026 (Season finale!)
