Discovering weaknesses and vulnerabilities in complex distributed systems made up of diverse software and hardware components is a challenging task. Artificial intelligence (AI) provides a range of approaches for early vulnerability discovery, cyber-threat detection, and incident response. These techniques have been investigated over the past decades and are widely deployed in commercial cybersecurity products. From an attacker\u2019s perspective, AI enables the crafting of more targeted and adaptive attacks that are harder to detect. The effectiveness of AI techniques depends on properly addressing the specific weaknesses and vulnerabilities related to data-driven learning approaches, including poisoning attacks and adversarial manipulation. This talk provides an overview of the role of artificial intelligence in cybersecurity and the pitfalls that must be addressed from an attack\u2013defense perspective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-7387b849 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Keynotes | September 23<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:29% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"582\" height=\"605\" src=\"https:\/\/srds-conference.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Screenshot-2026-06-24-093924.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-784 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/srds-conference.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Screenshot-2026-06-24-093924.png 582w, https:\/\/srds-conference.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Screenshot-2026-06-24-093924-289x300.png 289w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 582px) 100vw, 582px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sonia Ben Mokhtar<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Laboratoire LIRIS<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Title and abstract: to be defined<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Keynotes | September 24<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:29% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"732\" height=\"946\" src=\"https:\/\/srds-conference.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Screenshot-2026-08-04-123208.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-803 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/srds-conference.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Screenshot-2026-08-04-123208.png 732w, https:\/\/srds-conference.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Screenshot-2026-08-04-123208-232x300.png 232w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 732px) 100vw, 732px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Martin Kleppmann<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">University of Cambridge<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Title<\/strong>: Byzantine Eventual Consistency for Reliable Local-first Software<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Abstract<\/strong>: Local-first software, a growing industry movement, aims to make collaborative applications (such as text and graphics editors, spreadsheets, etc.) resilient against server failure by making the client software on the end user&#8217;s device a full replica of the application state, and allowing it to sync with other replicas in a decentralised fashion. This has many advantages, but also introduces new challenges, since the system can no longer rely on a central server to maintain the consistency and security of the collaborative document, and practical systems have to tolerate potentially malicious clients. This talk gives an overview of our work on Byzantine Eventual Consistency, and how the open source Automerge library makes this approach efficient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Keynotes | September 22 Giorgio Giacinto University of Cagliari Title: Cybersecurity in the Age of Artificial Intelligence&nbsp; Abstract: The security of the digital ecosystem is a top priority worldwide, as the daily lives of people, public services, and the operations of companies and organizations increasingly rely on digital infrastructures.
