It was an absolute honor to be a speaker at MTX - Milipol TechX Singapore, back in April, jointly organized by HTX (Home Team Science & Technology Agency), the Ministry of Home Affairs Singapore, and the Ministry of Interior (France).
My session was on "Adaptive AI Assisted Ransomware Simulation and Cyber Defense Validation", with a few cool demos.
It was a lightning talk on 29 April 2026, at the Sands Expo & Convention Centre, Marina Bay Sands. MTX, previously known as Milipol Asia-Pacific, is the public safety and homeland security exhibition and summit for the Asia-Pacific region, and HTX invited me to speak there.
The talk was about how adaptive AI is reshaping ransomware simulation and cyber defence validation. Once the attack side starts using AI, the techniques adjust to what they find in your environment, and a fixed test script tells you less and less. If the attacks adapt, the simulation has to adapt too, otherwise you are testing your defences against something real operators no longer do. That changes what it takes to test your defences, and to trust the results.
