Session
Claude Mythos is finding zero-days in production software. Project Glasswing is letting AWS, Apple, Google, Microsoft and JPMorgan use it to pre-patch critical vulnerabilities before attackers get there. The rest of us are stuck with AI tools that refuse to analyze a suspicious PowerShell command.
That gap is real, it's frustrating, and it's fixable.
Most security practitioners have formed their opinion about AI from one of three places: a vendor pitch, a ChatGPT refusal, or a breathless blog post. None of those tell you what AI can actually do for your work today. This workshop does.
Vibe hacking is the practice of directing AI through security tasks using your expertise and judgment as the guide. The model handles the volume. You handle the judgment. It is not about replacing your skills. It is about multiplying them.
Over the course of the day, you will use a purpose-built security AI platform to analyze logs, prioritize vulnerabilities, review code for exploitable flaws, assist with web application penetration testing, and develop proof of concept exploits. You will understand how these tools work under the hood, why commercial AI refuses to help with legitimate security tasks, and how the techniques you practice today apply to any capable agentic AI platform, not just the one we use in the workshop.
No coding required. No passive demos. You do the work, you see the results, and you leave with a clear-eyed answer to the question the whole industry is arguing about right now: what can AI actually do for security practitioners today?
