Pentera has announced the agenda for its inaugural AI Threat Research Summit, a virtual event focused on connecting cutting-edge adversarial AI research with actionable cyber defense strategies. Scheduled for November 19, 2025, the summit will bring the latest findings on how adversaries are leveraging AI to augment attacks and the novel risks introduced by AI infrastructure itself. The event is designed to provide security professionals with practical guidance to adapt their defenses in response to the rapidly evolving AI threat landscape.

Pentera is hosting the AI Threat Research Summit on November 19, 2025.
The event will feature live demos of AI-driven exploits and reverse engineering.
Sessions will cover threats to agent orchestration tools like CrewAI and Flowise.
A keynote will introduce "Vibe Red Teaming" for validating AI system threats.
It will outline countermeasures for detecting no-code exploits and malicious MCP files.
Eligible attendees can earn up to 2 CPE credits for participation.
The summit agenda is built on extensive adversarial research into AI attack techniques. A key session will feature live demonstrations of AI-driven exploits, highlighting how automated reverse engineering can uncover hidden attack vectors and new "Living-off-the-Land" binaries (LOLBins). Another critical focus will be on vulnerabilities within popular agent orchestration tools such as CrewAI and Flowise, showcasing how these new components of the tech stack introduce unique security challenges that defenders must now address.
Beyond identifying threats, the summit will translate research into practical defense methodologies. A dedicated session on countermeasures will outline how security teams can test for and detect "no-code" exploits, including malicious Model Context Protocol (MCP) rule files. This hands-on guidance is intended to help organizations apply the same rigorous testing standards they use for traditional infrastructure to their growing AI ecosystems, thereby increasing their overall security posture.
According to Pentera's leadership, the event addresses a fundamental shift in cybersecurity. "AI is transforming both sides of the cybersecurity battlefield. It has changed how attackers are operating while introducing an entirely new attack surface," said Dr. Arik Liberzon, Founder and CTO of Pentera. "The summit delivers frontline research translated into practical guidance for defenders. Attendees will leave with a clearer view of emerging AI-driven risks and how to apply the same testing rigor... to AI systems."
The AI Threat Research Summit represents a critical forum for security professionals to get ahead of the curve. As AI becomes deeply embedded in both offensive and defensive operations, understanding how to validate security controls against AI-powered threats is no longer optional. This event provides the necessary insights and methodologies to proactively test defenses, identify true risk within the AI attack surface, and effectively reduce organizational exposure.
