Just announced: AI Pen-Testing Conference

Bill Doerrfeld | September 28, 2026

Join me at the AI Pen-Testing Conference with AI Security University

The MCP Security Conference went so well that Dan and I decided to hold a follow-up. And the community poll was clear: pen-testing is a hot subject folks want to learn more about!


So, registration is now open for the virtual AI Pen-Testing Conference! Learn more and register here:

It'll be a free half-day look at how penetration testing and red teaming are changing in the AI age, co-hosted by Dan Barahona and yours truly.


We'll look at how pen-testing is becoming more AI-driven, as well as the other side of the equation: penetration testing AI systems, agentic AI, and LLMs themselves.


We'll dig into the emerging practices, techniques, and tools across both sides of AI pen-testing.


This should be especially relevant for bug bounty hunters, offensive security engineers, red teamers, DAST/SAST tool users, security leaders, CISOs, and anyone interested in where AI and offensive security are heading.


We'll have some great talks, a panel discussion, and time reserved for vendors to showcase their tools.


If you'd like to be involved as a speaker, panelist, or sponsor, please let us know!
