My Lethal Trifecta talk at the Bay Area AI Security Meetup
August 15, 2025

I gave a talk on Wednesday at the Bay Area AI Security Meetup about prompt injection, the lethal trifecta and the challenges of securing systems that use MCP. It wasn’t recorded but I’ve created an annotated presentation with my slides and detailed notes on everything I talked about.
