BSidesNYC is a premier, community-driven information security conference that serves as an ideal backdrop for strategic discussions with cybersecurity innovators like Ryan Luo (Co-founder & CTO) and Badr Salmi (Head of Product) of AegisAI Security. Held on October 17, 2026, at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice in New York, the event gathers over 1,000 practitioners and features more than 45 hours of immersive security content.

Here is how the event aligns perfectly with their roles and interests:

• Deep Technical Synergy (for the CTO): With dedicated, highly technical tracks for Red Teams and Blue Teams, alongside specialized hacking "Villages," the environment is primed for deep-dive conversations with Ryan regarding AegisAI’s core architecture, threat modeling, and technical roadmap.
• Product & Market Insight (for the Head of Product): BSidesNYC features a dedicated Entrepreneur track and massive practitioner attendance. This offers Badr a high-signal environment to discuss product-market fit, validate user needs with on-the-ground security professionals, and align AegisAI's product strategy with the latest industry friction points.
• Authentic, Hype-Free Networking: Because the event is 100% volunteer-organized by and for the community, it fosters candid, vendor-neutral technical exchanges. This makes it a much better setting for authentic leadership networking than heavily commercialized trade shows.
