We’ve got dates for this year’s event in Bahrain!
Following a very successful event in 2025, DEF CON and DEF CON Training are returning to Bahrain for DEF CON Middle East.
Training will be held November 8-10 and DEF CON Middle East will be November 11-12.
We hope you’ll save the date and follow us for updates.
Happy New Year!
Heartfelt thanks to the #DEFCON community for your support in 2025. Here’s hoping your 2026 exceeds your dreams.
We’ve got big plans for the New Year. In addition to DC34 in Las Vegas we’re returning to #defconbahrain and adding #DEFCONSingapore. New CTF runners. More trainings. We’re excited and we hope you are, too.
Keep in touch with us for updates and deadlines. Look out for each other. See you soon.

Today’s #DEFCONTraining Bahrain Spotlight is “AI SecureOps: Defending AI Applications and Services” with Abhinav Singh on November 3 & 4.
Can prompt injections lead to complete infrastructure takeovers? Could AI applications be exploited to compromise backend services? Can data poisoning in AI copilots impact a company's stock? Can jailbreaks create false crisis alerts in security systems? This immersive, CTF-styled training in GenAI and LLM security dives into these pressing questions.
Engage in realistic attack and defense scenarios focused on real-world threats, from prompt injection and remote code execution to backend compromise. Tackle hands-on challenges with actual AI applications to understand vulnerabilities and develop robust defenses. You’ll learn how to create a comprehensive security pipeline, mastering AI red and blue team strategies, building resilient defenses for LLMs, and handling incident response for AI-based threats. Additionally, implement a Responsible AI (RAI) program to enforce ethical AI standards across enterprise services, fortifying your organization’s AI security foundation.
