Security BSides Prague 2026

Are you ready to test your knowledge in the New Age?

The game is what you expect of the ever popular "Jeopardy" but with a hacker twist, hence "Hackerdy". Expect to understand not only the fundamental aspects of cybersecurity and its history, but the growing trends of AI and its impacts.

The game will consist of three teams pitted against each other! You'll go through two rounds and then you'll be lead to Final Hackerdy!

Let's see what you're made of.

In this session, we go back to where systems begin: the whiteboard - where designs take shape and the right question is: what could go wrong? That’s the essence of threat modelling: finding weaknesses before anything is built.

In this hands-on workshop, we use the Elevation of Privilege card game, created by Adam Shostack, to turn threat modelling into an engaging, team-based activity. Working in small groups, you’ll analyse a system architecture, applying cards aligned to STRIDE to uncover realistic threats. It’s structured, collaborative, and built around discussion, not just tools.

Together, you’ll learn how to:

- Identify vulnerabilities early in the design phase
- Explore attack categories through a six-part framework
- Experience how serious security work can also be fun

You’ll leave with a practical, repeatable approach to bring threat modelling into your teams from day one.

This lightning talk explores workplace well-being in cybersecurity through positive and negative examples. It emphasizes the critical role of mental health for operational teams like SOCs and CSIRTs, while also addressing the pressure CISOs face today. By explaining how to build a "safe harbor" and create an open environment, the talk will demonstrate how such a supportive approach is reciprocated by professionals, ultimately fostering a positive workplace culture.

Martin Hron will close Day 1 of BSides Prague 2026 with a short wrap-up session reflecting on the key moments, insights, and energy that shaped the first day of the conference. The closing talk will highlight important announcements, share practical information for the evening program and networking opportunities, and outline what attendees can look forward to on Day 2. It’s a chance to thank speakers, partners, and participants, celebrate the community spirit that makes BSides unique, and encourage everyone to continue the conversations, connections, and ideas sparked throughout the day.
