AI for Security & Security for AI

NGCS 2027 is built around two complementary challenges: applying artificial intelligence to make cyber security faster, smarter, and more resilient, and protecting AI systems from attacks, misuse, leakage, and manipulation.

These two directions define the core of the conference and connect researchers, security practitioners, AI engineers, and decision-makers working to build trustworthy, operationally effective systems.

AI for Security

Applying AI to threat detection, intelligence, vulnerability discovery, security analytics, automated response, recovery, and human-centered security operations.

Security for AI

Protecting models, agents, data, prompts, pipelines, and AI supply chains against adversarial attacks, misuse, leakage, manipulation, and operational failure.

Security Themes

Six security themes focused on secure AI, AI for defense, quantum-aware resilience, privacy, and operational trust.

Theme 01
Security for AI
  • Adversarial machine learning and red teaming
  • Model robustness, privacy, and provenance
  • Secure MLOps and AI supply-chain assurance
  • Threat modeling for AI-enabled systems
Theme 02
AI for Security
  • AI-assisted threat detection and triage
  • Autonomous incident response and recovery
  • Security analytics, attribution, and hunting
  • Human-AI workflows for security operations
Theme 03
Quantum-Ready Security
  • Post-quantum cryptography migration
  • Quantum-safe identity and key management
  • Hybrid classical-quantum risk assessment
  • Long-term data protection strategies
Theme 04
Secure Software & DevSecOps
  • Secure software delivery and pipeline hardening
  • Runtime application protection
  • Vulnerability management and patching workflows
  • Resilient systems monitoring and defense
Theme 05
Threat Intelligence & Incident Response
  • Threat hunting and intelligence fusion
  • Incident detection and response workflows
  • Operational security orchestration
  • Cyber threat analytics and attribution
Theme 06
Risk, Governance & Human Security
  • Security risk management and decision support
  • Human factors in secure operation
  • Resilience planning and incident preparedness
  • Policy, regulation, and security governance

What Makes NGCS Different

NGCS highlights research on cyber security, secure deployment, and the operational resilience of critical systems. The conference values rigorous defense methods, real-world validation, and lessons learned from protecting systems in production.

Security Engineering Focus

Case studies of secure architectures, threat modeling, and evidence from defended production systems.

Operational Resilience

Tracks for resilience testing, incident response, and defending systems under realistic attack scenarios.

Adversarial Intelligence

Hands-on sessions covering adversarial testing, robust design, and defense strategies for modern threats.

Privacy & Trust

Contributions on privacy-preserving design, data protection, and trustworthiness in secure systems.

Cloud & Infrastructure Defense

Showcases of secure cloud-native architectures, threat detection, and infrastructure defense solutions.

Governance & Policy Prize

Recognition for the best work on governance, policy, risk management, and security strategy.
