LLM Security Bootcamp: Foundations, Threats, and Defensive Techniques
Learning goal: Learn how LLM applications work and are architected, the unique security challenges they introduce, and the current best practices in LLM security—along with their limitations.
Schedule TBD
Abstract
Large Language Models (LLMs) open up a new realm of possibilities in application development, but they also pose significant challenges. Their non-deterministic nature and broad use cases complicate testing, while unpredictable failures (“hallucinations”) and novel attack vectors (“prompt injections”) add risk.
This workshop covers LLM-based applications, highlights unique threats, and offers hands-on testing and hardening techniques. Attendees will learn to set up and secure basic LLM-driven solutions in their organizations.

Hands-on deep-dive into frontend security
One-day workshop by Philippe De Ryck
Modern web applications rely heavily on frontend code, making browser security mechanisms crucial for protecting users and data. This hands-on workshop takes a deep dive into advanced frontend security for Angular / React / Vue applications.
Participants will explore real-world attack scenarios and implement defenses through guided exercises. Designed for developers and security professionals, this workshop blends academic depth with practical application, equipping attendees with the skills to secure modern frontends effectively.
Learning goal: Understand and apply state-of-the-art security mechanisms to protect modern frontends from real-world threats.
Secure Coding Workshop
One-day workshop by Jim Manico
This hands-on workshop teaches developers the principles of secure coding, focusing on real-world attack scenarios and defense strategies. Participants will learn to identify and mitigate vulnerabilities such as injection flaws, XSS, authentication weaknesses, and insecure dependencies. Using AI code generators and security tools, attendees will strengthen their ability to write robust, secure applications.
Ideal for developers looking to enhance their security mindset and build software that withstands modern threats.
Learning goal: Attendees will learn to build secure APIs by preventing injection attacks, managing third-party risks, OAuth2 basics, securing React integrations, and handling file uploads safely. They will also explore AI-assisted code generation.
