We are proud to announce that the 15th international CARO Workshop – an annual gathering of cybersecurity experts, is being held this year by Avast! Every year the conference takes place in a different country, and this year we decided to meet in Brno, Czech Republic.
May 4-6, 2022 | Brno, Czech Republic
This year’s theme is Hunting Threats, Hunting Criminals.
The event’s purpose is to share information, relevant and valuable knowledge, and experiences within the security expert community. There are no photos, and no video records. Just live talks and a lot of in-person networking opportunities.

CyberSec&AI Connected 2021
CyberSec&AI Connected is an annual conference linking you to the global AI, machine learning, and cybersecurity communities — facilitating the exchange of ideas, information, and insight.
Online, November 4-5, 2021
The conference will explore the themes of AI for privacy protection and security, revealing the challenges and opportunities facing all of us working and researching at the intersection of AI and cybersecurity.
“CyberSec&AI Connected 2020 has been the best virtual conference experience I‘ve had. Throughout the day, the speakers did an excellent job of presenting a diverse range of interesting and applicable topics of AI/ML use in the security space in a clear, intuitive manner. As always a highlight of in-person events, I enjoyed connecting and discussing my talk and other talks with my peers.” Bobby Filar (Lead Data Scientist at Elastic Security)

Fireside chat with live Q&A: Deep Learning vs. Rule-based Systems in Practical Applications
Avast experts: Petr Somol (AI Research Director at Avast) and Viliam Lisy ( Principal Scientist at Avast & Associate Professor at Czech Technical University in Prague)
Deep learning has achieved unprecedented performance in a wide range of domains ranging from computer vision, speech recognition, and natural language processing to game playing. However, many industrial systems still rely on human-written and maintain rule-based systems to perform classification. The reasons include better explainability of the rule-based systems and their modularity, which is crucial in dealing with non-stationary problems. We will discuss each approach’s advantages and disadvantages and the possibilities of getting the best of both worlds.

Presentation: Harnessing relational learning for explainable learning
Avast speaker: Tomas Pevny (Consulting Scientist at Avast)
While most machine learning methods assume that samples are vectors, matrices, or sequences, they have a rich structure in many real-world problems. While this structure makes the manual design of features non-trivial, I see it as an inductive bias that should drive models’ design. In this talk, I will introduce a simple yet powerful framework for learning on structured data. A side yet important feature is the explainability of decisions, which results from ingesting data as-is instead of devising artificial features. A concrete implementation of the framework will be demoed on data from various stages of analysis of malware.
