11:15 - 12:30 - Artifhacking Intelligence - Inti De Ceukelaire

For years, we've been told that humans are the weakest link in cybersecurity. But is that still true now that companies are rapidly adopting AI bots? Can AI systems themselves fall victim to phishing, scams and manipulation?

 

In this entertaining keynote, ethical hacker Inti De Ceukelaire takes you to the very edge of what's possible with AI. From clever ways to outsmart AI systems to surprising experiments in which AI is tricked, manipulated and perhaps even hacked. Nothing is quite what it seems.

Inti De Ceukelaire is one of the most prominent ethical hackers of his generation. In 2018, he won the prestigious ‘Most Valuable Hacker’ award at the World Hacking Championship in Las Vegas. Two years later, he became the youngest-ever recipient of the ‘IT Person of the Year’ award by the leading Dutch platform Computable, and in 2023 he was named ‘Young Cyber Security Professional of the Year’ at the Belgium Cyber Security Awards.

Inti regularly appears in the media as a cybersecurity expert, warning companies and institutions about digital threats. His career as a hacker is remarkable: from hacking the Vatican's website to accessing Melania Trump's private email and even posting a tweet from President Donald Trump's account.

When the Attacker Is a Machine
For €25, an AI agent can now break into a company — no hacker at the keyboard. In this closing CyberShift keynote, Erwin Geirnaert unpacks the autonomous attacks already happening in the wild, the frontier-AI incident that escaped its own sandbox, and what CISOs and CEOs must do before the machines arrive.
