🚗🔐 Excited to announce the next edition of ASRG Prague: Vehicle (In)Securities – Part 5 in collaboration with 42 Prague Campus!

On 11 June 2026, we’ll be discussing the growing security challenges surrounding Software-Defined Vehicles (SDVs), AI-assisted development, and automotive network evasion techniques.

Together with Kashif Amanat and Naveenkumar Angappan, we’ll explore:
- How AI coding co-pilots can unintentionally introduce vulnerabilities into vehicle systems
- The real-world risks of insecure AI-generated automotive code
- Practical DevSecOps guardrails for safer SDV development
- Security evasion techniques targeting modern automotive networks

Looking forward to another great evening of automotive cybersecurity discussions, knowledge sharing, and community engagement in Prague.
