Hacking AI for Fun and Profit
AI Security Fundamentals Training + Hands-On Hacking Challenge + Music & Networking
Join Snyk’s AI Security Engineering Community during SF Tech Week for an evening of learning, hacking, competition, and connection at Snyk’s San Francisco office.
We’ll kick things off with AI Security Engineering Foundations, a fast-paced, practical introduction to the core concepts and techniques for securing AI-powered applications.
Then, you’ll put those skills to the test with Hacking Bots for Fun and Profit — a hands-on hacking challenge featuring Snyk Strike, our neon arcade-style security game. Hunt down vulnerabilities, climb the leaderboard, and compete for prizes.
Before and after the sessions, grab food and drinks, meet fellow AI builders and security practitioners, and connect with people tackling the same questions around building AI securely.
Who should join? Security engineers exploring AI, AI builders who want to think like hackers, and anyone interested in getting hands-on with AI security. No matter which side you’re coming from, you’ll leave with practical security knowledge — and hopefully some bragging rights.
