# The Things Your AI Isn't Telling You


- **Event:** World Congress 2026 North America

## Description

The AI revolution has accelerated software development timelines, but at what cost to security? While teams rush to integrate LLMs and other AI capabilities into their applications, security is overlooked as new attack surfaces are created in places traditional security measures weren't designed to handle.

This presentation exposes the hidden vulnerabilities in AI-powered applications through live demonstrations of common attack vectors that exploit user input channels. Attendees will perform their own attacks on their mobile devices or laptops using prompt injection to bypass traditional security controls and compromise entire systems - with nothing more than carefully crafted text or images. 

By the end of this session, you'll have actionable strategies to identify vulnerabilities in your AI applications, practical tools to implement security controls without sacrificing innovation velocity, and a security mindset that treats AI components as critical infrastructure requiring specialized protection.
