Live Hacking: Inside the Attack – And the Defense

Step into the cyber kill chain. In this live hacking session, we simulate a full-scale cyberattack — from initial access to detection and response. You’ll experience both sides of the battle: how attackers think, move, and exploit — and how defenders detect, respond, and regain control.

Cyber Partners’ specialists Oliver (Offensive Security) and Alan (Defensive Security) take you behind the scenes of modern attacks. Nothing is pre-recorded. Just real hacking in real time — with full transparency from both red and blue teams.

What can you expect?
•        A high-stakes live attack simulation
•        Real-time insight into attacker TTPs and defender countermeasures
•        Full visibility into tools, logs, and decision points
•        Blue team analysis: detecting the attacks as they happen
•        Advanced threat scenarios and live Q&A

Why should you participate?
Because knowing how an attack works is not enough — you need to see it. In this session we aim to challenge your assumptions, sharpen your instincts, and give you practical knowledge you can apply immediately, whether you're building defenses or security strategy.

Who should participate?
This session is designed for anyone working in or around IT — whether you're hands-on with technology or responsible for strategic decisions. We bring the cyber threat to a tangible level, making it accessible and engaging regardless of your technical background. You'll leave with a clear understanding of how real attacks unfold and what effective defense looks like in practice.

Senior Quantum Algorithm Scientist

Quantum Computing: Separating Fact from Fiction

Description
Quantum cuters are among the most promising emerging technologies of our time. To many, they sound like something out of science fiction, and numerous myths surround their capabilities. In this talk, I will demystify quantum computing by explaining what a quantum computer truly is—and what it is not. I will explore the fundamental principles behind quantum computing and why it is believed to outperform classical computers in certain tasks. Additionally, I will provide an overview of the current state of quantum computing development and offer insights into when—and how—these machines might begin to make a real-world impact.Description:
