Security teams are overwhelmed by AI‑generated code, but how do you actually use LLMs for real application security?

In this BSides Vancouver Island talk, Emily Choi‑Greene (CEO & Co‑Founder, Clearly AI) explains how to turn large language models (LLMs) into reliable, production‑ready AppSec tools. Drawing on her experience securing Amazon Alexa and building AI security platforms, she breaks down practical strategies for using AI in cybersecurity, secure coding, and software security workflows.

This session is ideal for AppSec engineers, security architects, blue teams, DevSecOps practitioners, and engineering leaders exploring AI security tools.

Key topics include:

If you're working with AI in cybersecurity, DevSecOps, or secure software development, this talk provides practical, real‑world guidance.

This session was recorded live at BSides Vancouver Island 2025 in Victoria, BC at the Victoria Conference Centre.

This one is a little light on the music, because we spend a lot of time laying the ancient foundations. Then, Alien23 aka A23P goes to great lengths to present a through line from ancient history to the present.

A23P also goes to great lengths to dispel discussion about Artificial General Intelligence.

I bring up the history of musical automation a few times in there, but there is a very rich history on the music side that we could dive into if people want. We don't even mention the player piano!

Someone said their music equivalent to pastel colours is music composed mostly of drums. So I made this. All of the instruments are drums, just looped a bunch.

La curiositat és un animal.

Que és per 'xò que fumo molt i fumo molt, i sense gust.

Em dol el cos, em dol el cos,

I és per 'xò? És per 'xò! I és per 'xò? És per 'xò!

Foteu-la de pastilles fins al moll de l'os!

Another lullaby? Another lullaby! But this one is for a dog.

This was a live stream where I tried to explore the options Emacs provides built-in to have a development environment without relying on LSP (or, Tree-Sitter). These suite of packages are grouped under CEDET.
