Fighting Fire with Fire: An Evening with Charlie Eriksen

Your supply chain is already compromised. Now what?

Welcome to 2026. Developers have become the newest attack surface. They have access to your most privileged systems, are expected to ship faster than ever, and many are already burned out.
Oh, and now, almost everyone in your org is a dev with brand new AI, MCP and vibe coding tools. And that's before we even get to Mythos, the latest Shai Hulud and various maintainer hijacks!
But all is not lost.
Join leading security practitioners, defenders and good-guys to share and learn from each other.
We’ll dive into:
How LLMs are transforming software security
Best practices for maintaining quality in AI-generated code
Risk management and auditing strategies in an AI-driven world
Current trends and challenges in your field
Unwind, share experiences, and collaborate with peers who understand the complexities of navigating these changes. Enjoy an evening of meaningful conversations - no pitches no slides.
Together with the imitable Charlie Eriksen*, Lead Security Researcher at Aikido.
Fun fact: Charlie was also a muse for the infamous TeamPCP attackers in their March 2026 attack wave! Semi-creepy, semi-cool. He'll share more about this surreal experience over dinner:
