SANS AI Summit, Fall 2026: AI-Assisted Penetration Testing (workshop, with Adrian Wood)
Most AI security sessions show you a tool. This one puts you behind the keyboard driving one. Two hours, hands-on, in an isolated firing range: point an agent at a live target subnet and run a real assessment end to end, from recon to web application testing to code analysis. Then extend it with your own skills and tools, and learn where to trust it and where it is confidently wrong.
It is the first public look at material from SEC590, the AI-driven penetration testing course we are building for SANS. Bring a laptop.
The labs run against NorseStar Security, a fictional threat-intel company we built as the course range. It has a website, a live attack map and job openings; it does not exist.
