About a decade ago, the first results of machine learning and behavioral analysis results for CyberSecurity became apparent in services and products coping against Cyber threats. 

Today, the use AI-tools is omnipresent in CyberSecurity. 

During this day, Thursday September 15th in Leuven, LSEC and partners will present some practical implementations of AI into CyberSecurity, present the basics of modern CyberSecurity defense mechanics, instruct on how to use Open Source components and where the key benefits can be discovered, but also explained on how the mechanics behind AI can be fooled and how to be prepared against potential advanced potential threats focusing on your AI-powered cybersecurity tools. 

Join us in Leuven, in the historical setting of the Convent van Chievre - Faculty Club - Groot Begijnhof. 

The following companies, institutions and technologies will be presented in person: 

LSEC, co-dex.eu, SpotIT, AxsGuard - ABLE, KU Leuven Distrinet & COSIC, VUB AI Labs, Microsoft, Vectra.AI, ...

Learn from peers and partners in this domain and exchange experiences and ideas on how to best apply AI for CyberSecurity and Data Protection and CyberSecurity for AI. Exchange challenges on implementation, data governance, data sharing and tooling. Present ideas on how to cope with them and  

Inform yourself about latest and greatest developments on methodologies, research projects, state of the art, new technologies, new platforms, new cloud tools and models, ways to integrate and to PoC, to test and to deploy.  

Connect with CyberSecurity and AI experts, for today's and future needs, challenges and opportunities. We'll facilitate matchmaking during the day, make yourselves known and be heard about your actions and projects. We have established a network of international CS and AI experts, be welcome to join in. 

Join together with LSEC and other industrial partners in similar actions and activities, research projects and industrial collaborations to operationally improve and
