✦ AI Summary
Kaspersky announced the upcoming Security Analyst Summit, SAS 2026, a global security event.
SAS 2026 will be held from October 20 to 23 and will cover major vulnerability disclosures, findings from investigations into advanced attack incidents, and cyber espionage threat research.
The event will also include cases involving consumer systems, automotive and public media devices, game consoles and gaming, an Android TV botnet, an iOS security bypass tool, machine learning-cyber security threats, and the SAS CTF 2026 final.
Kaspersky announced on the 13th that it will hold 'Security Analyst Summit, SAS 2026,' a security event bringing together global security experts. Kaspersky said it will host SAS 2026 amid the growing use of AI tools in cyberattacks and the increasing sophistication of attacks.
SAS 2026 will run for 4 days from October 20 to 23. Kaspersky also unveiled the main agenda for SAS 2026, saying this year's agenda will include the disclosure of major vulnerabilities and the presentation of findings from investigations into advanced attack incidents targeting a range of digital domains.
The event theme is 'cyber security that breaks the existing mold (cyber-anarchy).' The event will depart from the typical format of security conferences, with participants taking on the role of 'attackers' working in their own ways and joining together to write a security manifesto.
Kaspersky plans to unveil research at the event on cyber espionage threats with increasingly advanced capabilities for evading existing security tools. Gergi Kutsherin, a Kaspersky GReAT researcher, will present a stealthy UEFI bootkit attack campaign targeting diplomatic organizations, while Ryusojun, a Kaspersky GReAT researcher, will present new research on the next-generation attack tactics of the Lazarus APT group.
The event theme also includes malware and attack cases targeting consumer systems, malware and attack cases targeting automotive control systems, and malware and attack cases targeting public media devices. Dmitry Kaspersky Kalinin, a senior malware analyst, will unveil new details of an attack campaign targeting Android-based car head units.
Security engineer Andy Nguyen will introduce a case in which researchers succeeded in running the Linux OS on the PlayStation 5 by using a security bypass technique for a major game console. Independent researcher Viktor Pozdov will present a case in which an attacker was able to gain access to gamers' PCs through a remote code execution vulnerability targeting Counter-Strike and Dota 2.
Alex Turing, a senior security expert at QAX XLAB, will disclose analysis results on 'Kimwolf,' a 31.4Tbps Android TV botnet. Alfie CG, an iOS researcher at Cellebrite Labs, will analyze 'Rocket,' an iOS security bypass tool abused by the Korunya exploit kit.
The agenda also includes new threats emerging from the combination of machine learning and cyber security.
Satsuki Tsuji, CEO of Ikotas Labs, will demonstrate how to completely bypass AI coding guardrails using a zero-click remote code execution attack chain that precedes LLM invocation. Feng Zinyang, an associate professor and Ph.D. at Huazhong University of Science and Technology, will introduce an autonomous LLM-based vulnerability discovery system.
The SAS CTF 2026 final will also be held. A total of 13 teams will compete in the final, consisting of 8 winning teams from the professional SAS CTF qualifiers and 5 regional winning teams selected through the Kaspersky{CTF} competition. The contest will take place in an attack-defense format.
Igor Kuznetsov, director of Kaspersky's Global Research and Analysis Team (GReAT), said the growing complexity of the global threat landscape means that protecting the digital future requires trusted cyber security tools and active practical collaboration among teams. He explained that, in this context, SAS 2026's aim of fostering a cyber-anarchy atmosphere is to encourage creative thinking, promote out-of-the-box thinking, and build a foundation for collaboration to jointly respond to advanced cyberattacks.
