You’ve Talked About LLMs—Now Let’s Actually Use One

There’s no shortage of headlines, hot takes, or hallway conversations about AI right now. Especially in identity and security.

But let’s be honest. How many people talking about LLMs can actually explain how they work? Or better yet, have ever tried to build something with one?

This workshop at Identiverse, led by Jonathan Sander, President of 42 Notions, skips the hype and dives into what actually matters:

What do LLMs do well?
What do they get wrong?
And how can identity and security pros use them—safely, effectively, and intentionally?

This is Hands-On AI, and the name isn’t metaphorical.

Forget the Slides—This One’s About Doing

Whether you’re a CISO exploring use cases, an architect trying to avoid AI-fuelled risk, or a governance lead hoping to keep hallucinations out of your compliance reports, this workshop is for you.

Jonathan combines short, digestible lectures with live, guided labs to demystify large language models. You’ll get to:

Compare outputs from different LLMs and spot the quirks (and biases) for yourself.
Build your own Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) system—embedding domain knowledge, crafting prompts, and testing how well the machine “understands” your world.
Induce and analyse model failures—because knowing how it breaks is just as important as knowing what it can do.
Debate the role of AI in identity governance, security architecture, and the ever-expanding world of non-human access.

No AI experience? No problem. Participation levels are flexible—bring your laptop and dive in, or watch and learn at your own pace. Curiosity is the only requirement.

Why Identity Pros Need to Get Hands-On with AI

AI isn’t just a security topic anymore, it’s a security surface. From chatbots that process customer data to LLMs writing code and helping attackers write phishing emails, we’re already past the “theoretical risk” stage.

Understanding how these systems are built and behave is now core knowledge for anyone working in identity, risk, or governance.

Jonathan’s workshop isn’t about selling tools or pushing a framework. It’s about showing you what’s real, what’s useful, and what to be careful of—based on experience, not just enthusiasm.

Who Should Show Up (and Why)

This session is especially valuable for:

Security pros and IAM specialists who need to evaluate LLM-powered tools—or build guardrails for them
Compliance leads and privacy officers facing the growing maze of AI regulations and audit concerns
Risk managers and fraud teams looking for practical ways to incorporate (or contain) AI within identity workflows
Business and IT leaders exploring digital transformation and not wanting to be caught flat-footed by AI shifts in their stack

Join Jonathan Sander on Tuesday, 3 June at Identiverse, and get past the AI buzzwords.

You’ll walk away with practical experience, a deeper understanding of LLMs, and maybe even a few new ideas for how to bend them to your will—ethically, of course.

Bring a laptop. Bring your curiosity. Let’s demystify AI together.
