A reminder that this is the last week for submissions to CanSecWest, in Vancouver on Sept 30 / Oct 1. We are also adding courses on reverse engineering with LLMs, specifically Ghidra, from Kara Nance, author of the No Starch Ghidra Book. She'll also be presenting her optical drone tracking work.
In a similar vein: so you've been asked to set up an agentic vuln discovery and security auditing pipeline? Come learn how to build one in Erlend Oftedal's two-day workshop, which we're just opening registration for. Check out our other technology leading courses and find conference and course registration at

Keynote speakers: Bruce Schneier and Katie Moussouris. And Sergey Bratus is going to tell us about automated micro-patching.
I'm also looking for one more contributor for the panel "Who Guards the Guardians?" on safety classifiers, guardrails, and their effect on security research. That promises to be an interesting discussion. :-) Paper announcements will be showing up on the site as we proceed.
