My talk “Understanding Prompt Injection” briefly had the top spot at @devoxx.com, very briefly. Nevertheless very happy with turnout in the room and the final score.

If you joined, thank you so much.

Excited that I'll be speaking at the AI4Devs event in Amsterdam on September 19th! I'll discuss security and privacy challenges in LLM-powered apps, including issues like prompt injection and data abuse, and offer solutions. Hope to see you there!

A few minutes before @lizeraes.bsky.social and I started our talk “Securing LLM-powered applications” at @devoxx.fr.
It turned out to be a fully filled room by the time talks started 😱.
Thank for attending y’all. Hope it was useful.

Six years ago, I joined a small but ambitious team of fewer than 100 people called Snyk. Today, I’m grateful for the growth, challenges, and amazing people along the way.

Hi @maritvandijk.bsky.social apparently @glycin.bsky.social has a few feature request for @intellijidea.com so he can make it a better game engine.

Because that is what we need 🤣
Can you help out? #askingforafriend
