The AI Village: A new addition to Swiss Cyber Storm

With its focus on AI, Swiss Cyber Storm 2024 clearly struck a chord. The development of ever more powerful LLM is continuing at full speed and we  remain committed to the topic. What we want to create is a space where we can explore AI security together with you, our audience. So we developed the Swiss Cyber Storm AI Village.

The AI Village at Swiss Cyber Storm 2025 puts the focus again on artificial intelligence in cybersecurity – in a hands-on, interactive, and accessible way. Our goal is to make AI in this context tangible, spark curiosity, and share knowledge at eye level. Whether it’s threat detection, anomaly analysis, or ethical issues, visitors can explore how modern AI systems are used in security, what their limitations are, and how they can be used creatively, safely, and responsibly.

With live demos, short workshops, and discussion sessions, the Village invites everyone to participate, no prior knowledge required. It’s a space for exchange between experts, beginners, makers, and the just curious. We want to show that AI in cybersecurity is more than just hype. It’s a powerful tool with real potential if understood and used wisely.

As part of the Swiss Cyber Storm Conference, the AI Village will be free for all conference attendees.

The AI Village is currently offering the following workshops from recognized experts:

Daniel Miessler – our 2024 keynote speaker Daniel Miessler returns for a hands-on session with this Fabric tool suite. In this workshop he will share his experience and his tricks with agentic AI on fabric, very much like he demonstrated during his keynote last year.

Andrea Hauser, Marisa Tschopp and Team – Andrea Hauser and former SCS speaker Marisa Tschopp bring a team of four scip red-teamers to Swiss Cyber Storm. They plan to set up three interactive stations for first hand AI experience: AI detection, AI Deepfakes and AI Manipulation.

Katie Koetke and Team – In this crisis exercise, participants will form teams and tackle an AI use case that got out of hand. This is a real life stress test that will prepare your communication and coordination skills.

Andrei Kucharavy – It’s not like an on-premise LLM would solve all the problems. So Andrei Kucharavy, member of the SCS AI Village team, will host this threat modeling workshop to address this typical AI architecture. It gives advice beyond the known OWASP Top-10 and will provider additional scenarios to sharpen their skills when returning home.

Candid Wüest – Offensive AI sounds very promising, and lot of penetration testers are getting their hands dirty in this area. But how capable is AI really here? In this workshop, also submitted to Black Hat Las Vegas, Candid will showcase how agentic AI could enable autonomous, metamorphic malware. This is enriched by real-world examples and a variety of demos.
