Insecure Vibes: Secure Coding Literacy for Vibe Coders
Vibe coding has a time and a place: it is great for making quick prototypes, and is very tempting for less technical folks. However, those who don’t understand their own code will be blissfully unaware of the many security vulnerabilities that AI assistants can introduce. In this presentation, I will cover a variety of common […]
TaHiTI, threat hunting methodology.
Discover the Power of TaHiTI at ONE Conference AI is accelerating everything—threat discovery, vulnerability disclosure, and attacker adaptation. As timelines between “known” and “exploited” keep collapsing, relying on static detection is no longer enough. In this interactive workshop, we introduce the renewed TaHiTI (Targeted Hunting integrating Threat Intelligence) framework, developed within the Dutch financial sector. […]
PQC: Who owns cryptography? When decisions outgrow IT
Most organisations lack clear ownership of cryptographic decisions. With post-quantum cryptography (PQC), this becomes an urgent risk: migration takes years, regulations are tightening, and decisions have long-term business impact. This interactive session focuses on why PQC fails when treated as a technical upgrade rather than a governance and IT operating model challenge. Participants start with […]
Unravel Cybercrime: Anti-Phishing and -Ransomware Agenda
Phishing remains the primary entry point for many cyberattacks, enabling access to interconnected criminal ecosystems where no cybercrime occurs in isolation. This session examines how attackers exploit trust layers like DNS, use anonymization technologies, and leverage crypto assets to obscure operations. It highlights the need for a technology agenda that links fragmented signals and rapidly […]
Strategic dependencies cryptographic products & services
In our deep dive session we will discuss the outcomes of the Analysis regarding dependencies of cryptographic products and services. Research firm Dialogic has made this analysis in 2025 for the Dutch Ministery of Economic Affairs. The outcomes of the analysis will be discussed in light of the Dutch National Cryptography Strategy, current developments and […]
3 Practical Leadership Strategies to Retain Cyber Talent
Most efforts to address staffing shortages and talent gaps in cyber focus on expanding the pipeline (e.g., education, recruitment, reskilling). There is, however, another critical angle to prioritize: retaining current talent. This interactive workshop, based on a 2025 Dutch Security Cluster study conducted by the Municipality of The Hague, introduces 3 practical leadership strategies to […]
Follow the Trail: Crypto Sanctions Evasion
States increasingly pursue their geopolitical objectives through non-military means — including front companies, sanctions-busting supply chains, proxy networks, and covert financing. Cryptocurrency has become a critical enabler of this architecture: state-backed actors are now building and exploiting financial and crypto platforms specifically designed to circumvent sanctions regimes, funnelling illicit virtual asset flows through jurisdictions that […]
