About

INFOSEC Manchester

With a focus in North West of England, namely Manchester, the INFOSEC Manchester events are vendor-neutral and feature panel discussions by industry experts who address a wide spectrum of real-world challenges and current strategies in Cybersecurity today.

The events will be supported by industry leaders, commercial organisations, professional associations, technology vendors and Information Technology professionals from around the world.

In the past we have had speakers from the FBI, Universities, industry-leading organisations and our sponsors. This year we are looking to continue our strong speaker standards to provide our attendees with valuable information and insights into all things Infosec.

Infosec Manchester is proud to be supporting the Wood Street Mission, with a collection on the night, which has gone down exceedingly well in previous events, we have raised hundreds of pounds for the wonderful work the Wood Street Mission are doing, and we hope to continue this at our next event.

Upcoming Event

Event Title:

 

Security Breaches in AI: Hype, Havoc, or Hidden Threat?

 

Abstract:

 

As generative AI tools like ChatGPT and deepfake engines take centre stage, so too does the fear: are we looking at the future of cybercrime or just another overhyped tech panic? 

This session digs into the current landscape of AI-related security breaches—from prompt injection attacks to model leakage—and asks the big questions: Are cybercriminals really weaponising AI, or are we just scaring ourselves with shiny new toys? How secure are large language models and other generative tools under the hood? And most importantly, what can organisations do to protect themselves as AI becomes embedded in everyday workflows?  

Whether you’re an AI optimist or a hardened sceptic, our three speakers will separate fact from fiction and offer a grounded look at the real risks, real breaches, and real defences in the AI age.
