Kerberoasting legend + Bloomberg security leaders = keynotes you can't miss!

➡️ Thursday Keynote by Tim Medin : Hacking Dumberly
Tim Medin, founder of Red Siege, globally recognized offensive security expert and creator of Kerberoasting, will open NorthSec 2026 with Hacking Dumberly: We all hear about APT, but most breaches aren't really by A (advanced) or P (persistent) threat actors. In this talk, Tim will discuss simple ways for attack and defense, and to show you that often times the "dumb" stuff can be super effective. And as an experienced infosec professional, we can learn a lot of new folks. "Newbs" have valuable insight that isn't poisoned by "that's how we've always done it" or "this is how X works". Experienced folks can learn a lot from less experienced folks, and they can go a long way in their development… or than can crush them. Let's help each other be better.

➡️ Friday Keynote by Varsha Dwarakanathan & Salini Mishra (Bloomberg): Lost in the AI Woods: Why the Future Still Needs You
Varsha Dwarakanathan (Senior Product Security Engineer, Bloomberg) & Salini Mishra (Senior Product Security Engineer, Bloomberg CISO Office) will present a reflection on AI and cybersecurity: how to stay relevant and human in a constantly evolving technological world. An invitation to use AI as leverage while managing pace, priorities, and energy over the long term.

☀️🌿 Dans moins d'un mois: NorthSec devient Solarpunk • Less than a month away: NorthSec goes Solarpunk

Le solarpunk, c'est un mouvement culturel qui se pose en opposition au cyberpunk. Plutôt qu'un futur dystopique, on imagine un monde où l'humanité a choisi de mettre de côté ses divisions pour bâtir quelque chose de durable: des villes verdoyantes, une technologie au service des communautés, une nature reconquise.

Chaque année, NorthSec adopte un thème unique qui imprègne toute l'expérience. Et cette année, c'est dans cet univers solarpunk que plonge NorthSec 2026. Ça se vit sur plusieurs niveaux:

🎉 Le 14 mai: notre légendaire party annuel devient un bal en blanc, à la chandelle. Ambiance immersive, surprises visuelles époustouflantes, célébration de la communauté hacker. Vous voulez vous costumer? Imaginez-vous comme une milice écologiste qui utilise la technologie pour défendre votre communauté.

🎲 Dans les villages: on accueille Why We Fight, un jeu de rôle solarpunk créé et animé par ses propres créateurs, Laurie Blake et Rob Ingle. Ton équipe traverse les vestiges d'un pays ravagé pour sauver des vies, reconquérir la nature et rebâtir une communauté. https://www.sdrgames.studio/pages/why-we-fight

🚩 Dans le CTF: l'univers solarpunk s'invite dans la compétition. Lorsque tu trouves un flag, tu pourrais avoir un choix moral à faire.

Il reste moins d'un mois et les badges sont limités 👉 https://nsec.io

Solarpunk is a cultural movement that stands in opposition to cyberpunk. Rather than a dystopian future, it imagines a world where humanity chose to set aside its divisions and build something lasting: green cities, technology in service of communities, nature reclaimed.

Every year, NorthSec adopts a unique theme that permeates the entire experience. And this year, that's the solarpunk universe NorthSec 2026 is diving into. It plays out on multiple levels:

🎉 May 14: our legendary annual party becomes a candlelit ball in white. Immersive atmosphere, stunning visual surprises, a celebration of the hacker community. Want to costume up? Picture yourself as an ecological militia using technology to defend your community.

🎲 In the villages: we're welcoming Why We Fight, a solarpunk tabletop RPG created and run by its own creators, Laurie Blake and Rob Ingle. Your team traverses the remnants of a war-torn country to save lives, reclaim nature, and rebuild community. https://www.sdrgames.studio/pages/why-we-fight

🚩 In the CTF: the solarpunk universe reaches all the way into the competition. When you find a flag, you might face a moral choice.

Less than a month left and badges are limited 👉 https://nsec.io
