Zero-Day to Zero-Minute: Cybersecurity in the Age of AI

The Milano Cybersecurity Meetup returns with an edition exploring how AI is fundamentally changing the way cybersecurity works, from offensive security and Bug Bounty to enterprise risk, financial fraud and cyber defense. AI is lowering the barrier to sophisticated attacks, accelerating vulnerability discovery and exploitation, reshaping financial fraud, and introducing new risks as organizations give AI access to sensitive data, systems and decision-making processes. At the same time, defenders are turning to the same technology to detect vulnerabilities, strengthen security and respond faster.

Six amazing speakers will explore this transformation from four different perspectives: the ethical hacker, the enterprise, financial fraud, and the cybersecurity technology ecosystem.

Andrea Nadelle — Ethical Hacker, Bug Bounty Hunter & Red Team Leader, ex Hackerone
Giovanni Bruner — Head of Fraud COE, NEXI
Stefano Sella, Fabrizio De Luca, Stefano Sali — Senior Security Architects, Broadcom

Another special guest speaker to be announced soon !!

Can defenders keep pace with machine-speed attacks?

The K!nd4SUS CTF Players Team of the University of Milan (UniMi) will introduce our speakers and guide the audience through the different sessions.

“Zero-Day Is Dead. Welcome to Zero-Minute”
How AI is transforming offensive security, fraud and cyber defense

Agenda

• Talk #1 — From Sword to Gun
  Andrea Nadelle aka nadino, Ethical Hacker & Red Team Leader, ex Hackerone
  For years, penetration testers and red teamers were the swordsmen of offensive security, warriors forged through knowledge, experience and years of close-combat practice. Commercial, open-source and custom-built tools were their weapons, extending their own capabilities and allowing expertise to become execution.
  Then came the gunpowder. With the arrival of AI in offensive security, we are witnessing one of the most disruptive moments in the history of cyber warfare: the transition from the sword to the firearm. With a gun in his hands, even a child can kill the strongest swordsman in the world.
• Talk #2 — Are We Ready for AI Risk?
  Amazing speaker to be announced soon !!
  Artificial intelligence is rapidly moving from being a tool used by employees to becoming an active participant in the enterprise. What new risks emerge? From data exposure and cyber attacks to hallucinations, autonomy and accountability — who is responsible when the machine makes the wrong decision? And ultimately, how much control are we willing to give AI?
• Talk #3 — The Fraud Machine
  Giovanni Bruner, NEXI — Head of Fraud COE
  AI is making fraud more scalable, faster, cheaper to execute, and increasingly convincing. From personalized social engineering and deepfakes to automated fraud campaigns, AI is giving fraudsters capabilities that were once available only to highly skilled criminals. Are fraudsters gaining an advantage faster than the organizations trying to stop them?
• Talk #4 — AI at the Cyber Frontier
  Stefano Sella, Fabrizio De Luca, Stefano Sali — Senior Security Architects, Broadcom
  AI is changing cybersecurity on both sides of the battlefield — attacker and defenders. The time from vulnerability discovery to exploitation is shrinking, while the growing volume of CVEs is making traditional vulnerability management increasingly difficult. AI can chain vulnerabilities into attack paths, turning individually low-risk weaknesses into critical cumulative threats, while analyzing open-source code and accelerating the development of exploits, malware and adaptive attacks. At the same time, AI does not face the same friction as a human attacker: it does not get tired, does not need to sleep and can operate at machine speed. As one of the organizations invited to test Mythos through Project Glasswing, Broadcom explores how frontier AI is changing attack and defense — and why organizations need to rethink vulnerability management, patching and cyber defense.
