Cybersecurity & InfoSec Events in Europe

European infosec has its own character: community-run, less vendor-dominated than its US counterpart, and unusually healthy at the meetup layer. This page tracks the conferences, BSides events, OWASP chapter meetings, AppSec sessions, red-team/blue-team meetups, and capture-the-flag gatherings that make up that scene.

At the large end, you'll find Black Hat EU, Hack.lu, Hack in Paris, NorthSec, CONFidence (Kraków), No Hat (Italy), FOSDEM's security track, and the BSides family that covers cities across the continent (Porto, Budapest, Kraków, Luxembourg, Prague, and beyond). At the community end, OWASP chapter meetups run in every significant tech city, alongside HackTheBox community meetups, Cyber Fresque awareness events, and active local groups for cloud security, cryptography, and reverse engineering. The Chaos Computer Club congresses and related hacker-culture events live in the adjacent Hacker & Maker category rather than here, since the audience and tone are distinct.

Topics span the real breadth of the field: web and mobile AppSec, cloud security (the Kubernetes and AWS attack surfaces in particular), threat modeling, incident response, malware analysis, red teaming, hardware hacking, privacy and cryptography, plus the policy/regulatory tracks that have grown around NIS2, the Cyber Resilience Act, and related European frameworks. Brainberg aggregates these into one feed, so the full European schedule lives in a single view.

🌟More about the talks:
Olle E. Johansson - OWASP and the CRA: A good match
In this talk Olle E. Johansson will update on the EU CRA legislation and talk about the toolchain and projects needed to manage vulnerabilities. The Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) aims to safeguard consumers and businesses buying software or hardware products with digital elements. The CRA entered into force on 10 December 2024. The main obligations introduced by the Act will apply from 11 December 2027, with reporting obligations to apply as of 11 September 2026. One of the focus areas is vulnerability management. To keep a product secure during its lifetime, all 3rd party components will have to be monitored and up to date. At the heart of this process is the Software Bill of Materials, SBOM, which is used to monitor for known vulnerabilities in both Open Source and commercial components. The talk will cover projects such as OWASP ECMA TC54 - PURL, CycloneDX, CLE and TEA that fit right in with CycloneDX working with various kinds of bill-of-materials for a long time.

Filip Nilsson - Splitting secrets: Shamir’s Secret Sharing and Zero-Knowledge Proofs
How can you share a secret without revealing it, or prove you know something without showing what it is? Through two hands-on hobby projects, Filip will explore the fascinating world of cryptography, demonstrating how Shamir’s Secret Sharing and Zero-Knowledge Proofs work in practice and how these seemingly magical concepts can solve real-world problems.

Kristian Alvarez Jörgensen - Securing autonomous agents
Organizations are rushing into incorporating autonomous agents into their day to day operations, but little consideration has generally gone into how those systems should be secured. Kristian will dive into the unique challenges that attempting to secure agents presents and explore what potential solutions and tools that exist.

Agent Hijacking: Wie autonome KI zum Sicherheitsrisiko wird

Karlsruhe, 🇩🇪 Germany

Titel: Agent Hijacking: Wie autonome KI zum Sicherheitsrisiko wird
Abstract:
Coding Agents wie Claude Code oder Cursor verändern die Softwareentwicklung. Doch was passiert, wenn Angreifer die Kontrolle über diese autonomen Helfer übernehmen?
Reale Cyberangriffe zeigen, wie KI-Agenten manipuliert werden können, um Sicherheitslücken auszunutzen, sensible Daten abzugreifen und ganze Angriffsketten selbstständig auszuführen.
Der Vortrag zeigt anhand aktueller Beispiele, wie Angriffe durch Prompt Injection, Memory Poisoning und Persona Engineering funktionieren und warum klassische Sicherheitskonzepte dabei an ihre Grenzen stoßen.
Vor allem aber geht es um die Frage: Wie lassen sich Coding Agents sicher einsetzen?
Mit konkreten Schutzmaßnahmen, bewährten Architekturansätzen und Empfehlungen für Entwicklungs- und Security-Teams.

November 2026: Kotlin-Powered Spring Boot and the Security of LLMs

Groningen, 🇳🇱 Netherlands

Join us on Tuesday, November 10th for another engaging JUG Noord meetup in Groningen, where we’ll explore how Kotlin can take Spring Boot development to the next level and uncover the security risks, vulnerabilities, and challenges that come with integrating LLMs into modern applications.

📅 Date & Time:
Venue opens: 16:30
First talk starts: 17:00
Food & drinks: Provided between the sessions

📍 Location: Kempkensberg 12, Groningen

🚨 Important: Signing up and valid identification are mandatory for entry. If the name on your Meetup profile does not match your ID, please contact Martijn (organizer) with your full name.

🇬🇧 Things you can do with Spring Boot and Kotlin by Frederik Pietzko (JetBrains)
In this talk, I’ll show you how to build microservices efficiently using Kotlin and Spring Boot.

We’ll begin by exploring Kotlin as a drop-in replacement for Java and gradually dive into Kotlin-specific features and libraries that significantly enhance development. We’ll also take a closer look at Kotlin DSLs for Spring Beans, Routing and Security as a sleek alternative to annotation-based configurations, essentially turning Spring Boot into a microframework.

Come and join me on this live coding adventure!

You will leave knowing how to turn any "could I automate this?" moment into a working optimization solution.

🇬🇧 The S in LLM stands for Security by Ties van de Ven (Alliander)
LLMs are all the rage these days and are increasingly being added to more and more products. At the same time we see companies using GenAI to assist or even replace software engineers. But as with any new technology this also brings risks that we need to be aware of in order to use it properly. Since GenAI is still an evolving field, new attacks and vulnerabilities are regularly discovered.

Join this session in which Ties van de Ven explores the most common use cases for LLMs (code assistance/agentic flow, applications built around LLMs, MCP, and model selection) and discusses possible attacks, exploits and mitigations.

About the speakers
Frederik is a Developer Advocate at JetBrains, passionate about building the best possible products, and regularly presents at international conferences and writes the occasional blog post.

In his free time, he likes to explore programming languages and frameworks, meet and chat with other software enthusiasts, and play with his cats.

Ties is a software engineer with passion for concepts, sofware engineering fundamentals and helping others. He combines these passions by doing public speaking, volenteer work for organisations like Devoxx4kids and codingcoach and working as a Software Quality Expert at Alliander.

Cork|Sec 161

Cork, 🇮🇪 Ireland

Running since June 2013, every month we have 1-2 talks focused on Security or Technology - followed by socialising with like minded people

  • You can find out exactly what to expect about the night and the venue on the What We're About section of our Meetup page. Past talk details can be found the "Past Events" section.
  • All people with any sort of an interest or level of knowledge in Security, Hacking and Emerging Technology are more than welcome to attend and feel free to bring like minded colleagues and friends.

CorkSec is made possible through generous sponsorship from our Platinum Sponsor TrendAI, Gold Sponsor CyberSkills , as well as our Silver and Bronze Sponsors featured prominently on the night.

Our talks come from our community so if you have an idea for a topic (anything for 10-60 minutes) please email us at DefconCork@gmail.com . Whether you are an experienced presenter, or presenting for your first time - CorkSec is a great venue for it - and we are happy to help you prepare and mentor you.

Doors open at 19:00 with talks starting at 19:15. Talks below

TALK 1: Airgapped System | Not a problem. Lessons Developing Malware for a NATO Exercise by Sabastian Hague
Step inside the development process behind Exercise Locked Shields 2026, the largest and most complex cyber live-fire exercise in the world
Centri had the honour of supporting Locked Shields by developing realistic technical content for some of the most capable cyber operators globally. This session explores the challenge of building scenarios that are credible, relevant, and difficult enough to test defenders operating at enterprise and nation-state level.
You’ll hear how we approached the design of advanced exercise content, the considerations involved in developing realistic adversary behaviour, and how we balanced technical depth, safety, and learning value.
The session will also walk through one of the more intricate malware components developed for the exercise. Rather than relying on obvious destructive behaviour, this tooling was designed around specific operational objectives, showing how subtle functionality can be harder for commercial detection tooling to identify.
Can malware be effective without being noisy? Can highly specific functionality create a bigger detection challenge than overtly malicious behaviour?
Join us and find out.

TALK 2: Adopting AI for Threat Defense: What Actually Works (and What’s Still Hype) by Saurabh Khadtare
A lot of people in security are understandably skeptical of “AI” right now. Marketing slides promise fully autonomous SOC's, while real defenders are still drowning in huge alerts and brittle detection logic. At the same time, attackers are already using automation and AI‑adjacent tooling to scale phishing, brute forcing, credential abuse, and exploitation, so a purely manual defensive approach is becoming unrealistic.
In this talk, I’ll share practical lessons from working as a security engineer and Pentester on how AI is actually starting to help with threat defense, and where it absolutely should not be trusted on its own. I’ll break “AI for defense” into three buckets: classical ML/UEBA and anomaly detection, AI‑powered SOC automation for triage and noise reduction, and LLM‑based that help with summarizing incidents, writing queries/rules, and translating technical findings for non‑technical stakeholders. For each bucket, I’ll walk through concrete workflows and examples (using redacted or synthetic data) showing what sucked before, what AI does better, and what still needs a human in the loop.
I’ll also cover the major limitations and risks: hallucinations, weak multi‑step reasoning, prompt injection, and new attack surfaces introduced by LLMs and vendor tools. The goal is to give the audience a realistic blueprint for where AI can safely augment defenders today, and where “AI‑only” approaches are still pure hype.

We will also have a seat for the CPTA | Certified Penetration Testing Associate to give away on the night

vCISO Pathway: From Analyst to CISO

Every path we've walked this fall ends up in the same room: the one where somebody decides what a company spends on security, which risks it accepts, and how to explain all of it to people who don't speak cyber. That's the CISO's job.

A vCISO, or virtual CISO, does that job for companies that don't have or don't need a full-time one.

It's Veterans Day, which fits. Tyrone enlisted in the Army in February 1996, has spent the 30 years since in IT and cybersecurity, and today runs a vCISO practice. Tonight he walks you through that road and what the job really looks like once you get there.

To everyone who served: thank you.

This one is network-wide. HQ in the DMV, Atlanta, and South Florida on the same call.

🎯 What We'll Cover
- What a CISO and a vCISO actually do, and how the two jobs differ
- The first 90 days with a new client: the assessment, the risk register, and the first report to leadership
- Translating risk for people who don't speak cyber
- How to get there from wherever you're starting, and the certs that matter (CISSP, CISM)

Cybersecurity Journey: From Learning to Building a Career

Belfast, 🇬🇧 United Kingdom

How do you actually get into cybersecurity?
What should you learn first? Do you need a degree or certifications? How do you get experience when even junior roles ask for experience? And once you get that first job, what does working in cybersecurity really look like?

For our next OWASP Belfast meetup, we’re bringing together three people at very different stages of the cybersecurity journey:
• A student currently learning cybersecurity and thinking about their first career steps
• A penetration tester who has already made the move into the industry
• An experienced security engineer with a background across engineering, education and the cybersecurity community

This will not be three presentations or a traditional panel.
Instead, we’ll have an open, interview-style conversation comparing expectations with reality and looking at cybersecurity careers from different points along the journey.

We’ll discuss topics including:
• Where to start when cybersecurity feels overwhelmingly broad
• Degrees, certifications, labs and practical experience
• Getting the first cybersecurity job
• What employers actually look for in junior candidates
• What penetration testing and security engineering really look like day to day
• Choosing a specialism — or not choosing one too early
• AI and how it may change entry-level cybersecurity careers
• Building a career that lasts
• The role of communities such as OWASP and BSides

The student will also get the opportunity to challenge the professionals: does the career advice we often give newcomers actually work in practice?
There will be plenty of time for audience questions and discussion, so whether you are a student, looking to move into cybersecurity, already working in the industry, or simply interested in how cybersecurity careers develop, come along and join the conversation.

Everyone is welcome.

#15 Fish Phish Fixe

Lisbon, 🇵🇹 Portugal

This year's theme has clearly been all about returning, as we're back at Microsoft Portugal's headquarters for our final event of the year. And we're pulling double duty, as this event also marks our fourth anniversary 🎉

We have two talks lined up for you, which we hope you'll enjoy. And please, don't ignore our feedback emails afterwards. We promise they're legitimate 🥺

Also, the cake is not a lie 🎂

Considering this chapter rose from the ashes in November 2022, hosting 15 events in four years is a pretty decent average ⏱️

This OWASP Lisboa chapter meetup will take place on November 12th, 2026, at 18:30, with the support of Microsoft Portugal and AP2SI 🤝🏻

The venue is the Microsoft Portugal office. Big building, Microsoft logo, can't miss it 🧭

Our tentative schedule:
18:40 - Quick intro by the OWASP Lisboa chapter leadership team
18:50 - “From Image Poisoning to Cluster Compromise: Attacking Docker and Kubernetes” by Sergey Chubarov
19:30 - "Your Adversaries Already Know Your Detection Gaps. Do You?" by Francisco Medeiros
20:00 - Food & Drinks, courtesy of Microsoft Portugal

Although the activities may start later, please try to arrive by 18:00 to allow ample time to settle in ⌚

--------------------------
Talks:
--------------------------
Title: From Image Poisoning to Cluster Compromise: Attacking Docker and Kubernetes

Speaker: Sergey Chubarov

Abstract: A single malicious container image can be enough to compromise an entire cloud-native environment.

This session explores how red teams and threat actors abuse the container supply chain to gain initial access, evade detection, establish persistence, and compromise Kubernetes clusters. Through live demonstrations, we will show how seemingly legitimate Docker and Kubernetes images can be weaponized to execute malicious code, steal secrets, deploy backdoors, and provide a foothold inside production environments.

Attendees will gain a practical understanding of modern container attack techniques and learn how to defend Docker and Kubernetes environments against supply chain threats.

Bio: Sergey Chubarov is a cloud security consultant, red teamer, Microsoft MVP, and Microsoft Certified Trainer with more than 15 years of experience in cybersecurity. His work spans offensive security, cloud security, and AI, helping organizations identify and mitigate real-world threats.

He is a frequent speaker at Black Hat, DEF CON, Hacker Halted, Wild West Hackin' Fest, and other international conferences. Sergey is known for highly practical sessions featuring live demonstrations, real attack scenarios, and actionable defensive guidance.

Title: Your Adversaries Already Know Your Detection Gaps. Do You?
Speaker: Francisco Medeiros
Abstract: Security teams invest heavily in SIEMs, EDRs, XDRs, threat intelligence, and other defensive technologies. Yet detection gaps remain, and adversaries continuously adapt their techniques to evade the security controls we rely on.

But what if some of the most valuable insights for improving our detection coverage are already sitting in our own environments?
Every incident, penetration test, threat intelligence report, and newly disclosed vulnerability offers an opportunity to understand what we can detect, what we're missing, and how we can improve.

In this talk, we'll explore a practical approach to continuous detection engineering, turning real-world evidence into meaningful improvements in detection coverage.

We'll look at how to:
- Translate newly disclosed vulnerabilities and threat intelligence into actionable detection hypotheses, rather than waiting for vendor-provided content.
- Use penetration testing and purple teaming to identify blind spots, validate existing detections, and continuously improve coverage.
- Reconstruct incident timelines to uncover missed opportunities for earlier detection.
- Analyse available telemetry, validate techniques in controlled environments, and assess existing vendor and custom detection capabilities.
- Balance detection specificity, coverage, and false positives to develop resilient detections that remain operationally useful.

Through practical examples, we'll examine how offensive techniques can expose gaps in widely deployed security products, and how collaboration between offensive and defensive teams can turn those findings into stronger detection capabilities.

The goal isn't to walk away with another collection of detection rules to copy. It's to leave with a repeatable, vendor-neutral framework for continuously learning from the evidence already available to us, challenging our assumptions, and making better detection engineering decisions.

Because the question isn't just whether your adversaries know your detection gaps. It's whether you do, too.

UmbLeeds: Security & Automation with Umbraco

Leeds, 🇬🇧 United Kingdom

Two talks on keeping your Umbraco site secure and your publishing on autopilot!

Our next meetup brings together two practical talks from the Umbraco community: one on stopping stolen logins at the door, and one on automating your content publishing with Umbraco.Automate.

The Talks:

“Correct Creds, Wrong Person: Stopping Stolen Logins at the Umbraco Door”
Dave Bullough

Stolen creds are cheap, and they work. See how infostealers harvest them, and how a privacy-preserving Umbraco plugin blocks them at login without your server ever sharing them.

“Automation for the People”
Owain Williams

“It’s the end of manual posting as we know it.” Every blog post published, every platform notified, no copy-pasting. Owain dives into Umbraco.Automate and shows how custom Triggers and Actions can push your blog content to Mastodon, Bluesky, and LinkedIn the moment it goes live, with conditional workflows built in the Umbraco 17 backoffice.

Who Should Attend:
Developers, architects, and anyone responsible for an Umbraco site. Whether you’re thinking about login security, want to reduce manual admin, or are simply curious about what Umbraco can automate, there’s something practical for you.

What to Expect:

  • Two practical talks from Umbraco community members
  • Real patterns from working implementations
  • Q&A and discussion
  • Food and refreshments

Agenda:
18:30 - Mingling + Food
19:00 - Introductions & Umbraco news
19:15 - Talks
20:15 - Open Social + Networking

📅 Thursday, 12th November | 6:30 PM
