BSides Prague (not EFF) will host this event. EFF Director of Cybersecurity Eva Galperin will be speaking.
From the Organizers:
We're at the edge of The Next Frontier, where technology isn't just advancing it's truly taking off. Just like the ancient legend of the Golem, brought to life to protect but challenging its creator, today's smart systems are striving for autonomous self-improvement. This isn't merely evolution, it's a revolutionary leap towards a profound, perhaps singular, change where our creations gain unprecedented autonomy. As powerful systems become omnipresent, vigilance is critical. This frontier demands we anticipate and fix problems before they begin. BSides Prague 2026 invites you to explore how to secure this unfolding future. We'll draw wisdom from our past, from stories like our own Golem, to guide us. Join us to collectively define and protect what lies just beyond the horizon and where else but in Prague, the very place that gave the world the word "robot"?

About the Speaker:
Eva Galperin is EFF's Director of Cybersecurity. Prior to 2007, when she came to work for EFF, Eva worked in security and IT in Silicon Valley and earned degrees in Political Science and International Relations from SFSU. Her work is primarily focused on providing privacy and security for vulnerable populations around the world. To that end, she has applied the combination of her political science and technical background to everything from organizing EFF's Tor Relay Challenge, to writing privacy and security training materials (including Surveillance Self Defense and the Digital First Aid Kit), and publishing research on malware in Syria, Vietnam, Lebanon, and Kazakhstan. Since 2018, she has worked on addressing the digital privacy and security needs of survivors of domestic abuse. She is also a co-founder of the Coalition Against Stalkerware.
