Kaspersky's 18th Security Analyst Summit (SAS 2026) will be held from October 20-23, 2026, in Bali, Indonesia, focusing on AI security, cyberespionage, and vulnerabilities affecting various digital sectors. The agenda includes research on UEFI bootkits, Lazarus APT activities, and malware targeting gaming and mobile systems. Notably, a session will demonstrate 'pre-prompt attacks' that exploit AI coding guardrails, showcasing zero-click remote code execution techniques. The summit anticipates over 200 participants and features discussions on vulnerabilities in Android TV devices and iOS security. The event will also include a Capture the Flag (CTF) competition with an $18,000 prize pool. Kaspersky emphasizes the need for collaborative security approaches in response to evolving threats.
