Theme Brief

When AI Acts: Hacking the Age of Agentic Systems

AI security has been a recurring theme at HITCON. As language models evolve from linguistic comprehension to agentic action, the security challenges of AI have grown substantially.

LLMs are inherently susceptible to adversarial attacks; vulnerabilities such as jailbreaking, prompt injection, and model alignment represent challenges that are theoretically difficult to eliminate. As Agentic AI bridges diverse systems, it not only inherits vulnerabilities from the underlying infrastructure but propagates them across all integrated environments, forming a complex and interdependent supply chain that significantly expands the attack surface.

Beyond this, the foundation model, training procedures, training datasets, and even Tool Use all emerge as new attack vectors, yet security continues to be deferred to the final stages of the development lifecycle, repeating a well-worn mistake from IT history.

How to embed Security-by-Design into AI system development in this new era has become the next critical challenge for the information security community.

ABOUT

ABOUT HITCON

The most representative technical security conference in Taiwan.

About HITCON

There is no black nor white in the realm of technology. Hackers, as we see them, encapsulate top-notch skills and challenge-seeking spirits. Unlike commercial conferences, HITCON provides a stage for hackers to share the latest and advanced security technology and have discussions with everyone. We take great care of our sessions to make sure that everything published in HITCON is commercial-free research, latest trends, or advanced hacker skills. We also hope that every session is interesting to our attendees.

Hacks in Taiwan Conference (HITCON), a technology-orientated cybersecurity conference annually held in Taiwan, is dedicated to bringing the latest information and the most in-depth know-hows of cybersecurity technologies and practices to the community. Over the years, we have invited worldwide speakers and participants to these great events. Also, we facilitated the communities to exchange technical researches, bleeding-edge hacking technologies, and a wide range of corporate security issues.

HIT

About HIT

Since 2005, the Hacks In Taiwan Conference (HITCON) has been organizing annual conferences and also established HIT, a corporate body, to contribute to information security In Taiwan.

HITCON is dedicated to promoting information security. Since 2005, we have started to hold seminars and symposiums to discuss hot issues related to information security worldwide in combination with current affairs, so as to introduce education training courses for professional lecturers at home and abroad, assist governments, enterprises and the public in establishing friendly communication channels and providing training resources, and lead the world in the pulse of information security technology. In recent years, we have set up a non-profit vulnerability reporting platform (ZeroDay), held CTF competition, hacker's real-world escape the room (HackDoor) and enterprise security attack and defense competition (DEFENSE).

We have also supported domestic security communities and worked with the country to cultivate Taiwan's future talents.
