● Keynote
The keynote will be delivered by Christian Van Heurck, Deputy Head of the Capacity Building Unit at the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA), and Ioannis Agrafiotis. Under the theme “Cybersecurity and Capacity Building in the Frontier AI Era,” they will discuss defense strategies for the AI era and the importance of capacity building.

● Security of the AI Ecosystem (Infrastructure, Agents, and Chips)
As AI infrastructure expands rapidly, the program comprehensively covers security threats of the AI era, from security challenges in GPU data centers and attack risks related to the specifications of AI agents, to physical-layer security issues in AI-dedicated processors built into smartphones.

● Security Boundaries Between Infrastructure and Consumer Devices
Talks will explain in technical detail the security vulnerabilities inherent in products essential to daily life and economic activity, such as messaging services widely used in Japan like LINE, and web browsers such as Firefox.

● Analysis of State-Sponsored Threats (APT) and Cyber Espionage
Case studies of state-sponsored threats with geopolitical backgrounds will be presented, including threat actors operating mainly in East Asia and cyber operations related to civil activism in Iran.

● Where Technology Meets Governance and International Law
Speakers will discuss challenges at the intersection of technological development and national policy, such as how international governance should address the operation of mega-constellations in space, including Starlink.

● “Villages” Hosted by Overseas Communities
Following last year, workshops well established at overseas security conferences are coming to CODE BLUE. A number of “Villages” dedicated to specific fields such as aerospace, medical devices, automotive, and industrial control systems will offer hands-on hacking experiences and CTFs (Capture The Flag).

● A Wide Variety of Contests and Workshops
Contests and workshops will be hosted by sponsors and individuals alike, including programs on IoT honeypot data analysis, incident response exercises, a story-driven CTF, and macOS DFIR (Digital Forensics and Incident Response).
We are also committed to promoting diversity and nurturing the next generation through a lightning talk event by a women’s community in security and support programs for young researchers, including a community dedicated to sharing and refining self-made tools.
