From car hacking to AI pentesting, GMV breaks new ground at IT-SA

During the IT-SA Expo&Congress, GMV once again demonstrated its cybersecurity leadership with a series of groundbreaking talks tackling critical cybersecurity challenges.

“Car Hacking: Exploring Vulnerabilities in Modern Vehicles” was presented by Carlos Sahuquillo, who highlighted the increasing complexity of connected vehicles and the crucial role of cybersecurity. Through video demonstrations, Sahuquillo showed GMV’s advanced capabilities in vulnerability assessment and penetration testing in vehicles, emphasizing the importance of SOCs and ethical hacking laboratories as key pieces in the protection of these systems.

Marek Matuszak, in his talk on “Network Hacking: Total compromise just one click away,” he warned of the fragility of cybersecurity defenses when faced with a single malicious click. Matuszak stressed the need to continuously train users to prevent devastating attacks that can compromise entire networks, no matter how sophisticated they may be.

João Sequeira addressed IoT risks with his presentation “IoT Hacking: Attacks on Bluetooth devices,” showing the most common Bluetooth technology vulnerabilities. Through a live demo, he demonstrated how a cyberattack on Bluetooth devices reflects the ease with which attackers can compromise personal devices.

Finally, Alicia Morales and José Luis Álvarez introduced the future of cybersecurity with “AI Pentesting: Automated AI-driven pentesting application.” This presentation showcased GMV Penbot, a Reinforcement Learning (RL)-based solution that automates vulnerability detection in large-scale web environments. The demonstration was a fascinating look into the future of automated pentests, reducing human intervention and significantly speeding up the process.

With these presentations and its presence at one of Europe’s leading trade fairs, GMV reaffirmed its commitment to cybersecurity innovation, offering robust and cutting-edge solutions to tackle the technological threats of the present and the future.
