​Renting Brains, Owning the Mistakes: LLMs in Cybersecurity Education

​Students already use LLMs for almost everything: explaining concepts, writing reports, debugging their labs, and sometimes skipping the hard part of learning altogether. And they will not stop when they graduate: the habits formed in a lecture hall follow them into the SOC and the codebase, which makes how we teach with these tools a security problem, not just an academic one.

​This talk briefly sets out why we care about LLMs, the economics, the energy, and the jobs behind the hype, then draws on hands-on experience teaching cybersecurity at the University of Turku. I’ll share where LLMs genuinely help students and where they quietly erode the skills the field depends on.

​AISVS 1.0: The Missing Verification Standard for AI Applications

​OWASP AI Security Verification Standard 1.0 was released in June as a comprehensive technical verification standard for AI applications.

​This session explains how AISVS relates to and works alongside other frameworks and publications, and how to start using it at your organization to ensure comprehensive coverage of AI security controls.
