From Prompt Injection to AI Takeovers: My Next Talk on the New Cybersecurity Battlefield

Luciano Ferrari

01 Oct 2025 — 1 min read

Artificial Intelligence is not just changing business—it’s rewriting the rules of cybersecurity. As attackers weaponize prompt injection, data poisoning, and model manipulation, we’re witnessing the rise of a new digital battlefield.

On October 9, 2025 (10:00 AM EDT), I’ll be speaking at DevSecOps Live alongside Marudhamaran Gunasekaran to unpack these threats and share real-world insights on how to defend against them.

Why This Matters to Me

Over the past years, I’ve dedicated myself to exploring AI security vulnerabilities—not as an academic exercise, but as a practical mission.

I created AI Risk Inspector, a tool designed to test, monitor, and secure AI systems.
I’ve helped organizations rethink how they integrate AI responsibly, exposing blind spots in traditional cybersecurity approaches.
And as a GenAI Risk Hunter, I’ve seen firsthand how attackers are already probing and exploiting AI systems.

This talk is an opportunity to share that journey with the wider community.

What I’ll Be Covering

🔎 How attackers target AI systems: From prompt injection to data poisoning.
⚔️ Why AI is an expanded battlefield: What makes AI security different from IT security.
📂 Real-world case studies: Actual exploits of AI weaknesses.
🛡 Defensive strategies: How to start testing and securing AI deployments today.

This isn’t about fear—it’s about equipping leaders and teams with the right mindset and tools to stay ahead.

Why You Should Join

If you’re a CISO, a product security leader, or part of a DevSecOps team, this session is for you. You’ll leave with actionable strategies to bring back to your organization and a clearer picture of the AI security landscape we’re heading into.

🎉 My First Cybersecurity Conference in Florida: BSides Orlando 2025

This past weekend, I attended BSides Orlando 2025 — my first cybersecurity event in Florida since moving here. It turned out to be a full day of learning, making connections, and hands-on fun. 📚 Roots & Reach of BSides Before diving in, a bit of context: BSides began in 2009 in Las

What is Prompt Hacking? — Lesson 1 from AI Hacking (Free Lesson)

What is Prompt Hacking? Prompt hacking is the set of techniques that manipulate the input to a language model (or other generative AI) to produce behavior the model owner didn’t intend — from leaking hidden prompts to causing unauthorized actions. In Lesson 1 of my AI Hacking course, I cover:

Volunteering at BSides Orlando 2025 – Join Me at the Soldering Station!

This Saturday, I’ll be participating in BSides Orlando 2025, one of the most exciting community-driven security conferences in Florida. I’m thrilled to share that I’ll be volunteering at the soldering station, helping attendees learn, build, and hack with hands-on electronics. Why BSides? BSides conferences are special. They

World-Class IoT, AI & Car Hacking Training — Without the $7K Price Tag

Cybersecurity training should be powerful, practical, and affordable. That’s exactly why I built three advanced courses—IoT Hacking, AI Hacking, and Car Hacking—with the same depth and rigor you’d find at global conferences like SANS, Black Hat, and DEF CON, but at a fraction of the cost.
