CREST is bringing Singapore’s cybersecurity community together for an afternoon of practical insight, honest discussion and professional networking focused on one of the sector’s most pressing challenges: how organisations can adopt artificial intelligence securely while responding to its rapidly evolving risks.

The event is designed to move beyond theory and explore what organisations and practitioners are seeing on the frontline today.

Hosted by the IMDA at its Mapletree Business City offices, the event is held under the Chatham House Rule. Lessons from the cybersecurity frontline: securing and adopting AI provides a trusted environment for practitioners to share real-world experiences, lessons learned, and practical approaches to securing, governing, and adopting AI technologies.

CREST is inviting cybersecurity practitioners and subject-matter experts from across Singapore to contribute to the programme.

We are particularly interested in practitioner-led presentations that share real experiences, technical insights, lessons learned and practical recommendations relating to the secure adoption and use of AI.

Potential topics could include:

• Securing enterprise adoption of generative AI
• AI-enabled cyberattacks and emerging threat techniques
• Penetration testing and assurance of AI systems
• Prompt injection, model manipulation and data leakage
• Red teaming AI applications and large language models
• Using AI within security operations, incident response or threat intelligence
• Governance, risk and compliance considerations
• Protecting sensitive information when using AI tools
• Building organisational readiness for AI-related incidents
• Case studies, failures and lessons learned from real-world deployments
• The changing skills required of cybersecurity professionals
• Responsible innovation and maintaining trust in AI systems

Submissions should offer genuine educational value and should not be product- or sales-led.
