For our next meetup, we're teaming up with OpenSearch Project Vienna! 🤝 The event is hosted on OpenSearch Project Vienna's page, so please register there. RSVPs here don't count for the venue: https://www.meetup.com/opensearch-project-vienna/events/316281086/ Full event details below. See you there! \-\-\- The OpenSearch Project Vienna community is back for its fall edition! And the community keeps growing. This time, the meetup is hosted by [Exoscale](https://www.exoscale.com/) and [RISE](https://www.rise-world.com), with support from [Aiven](http://aiven.io) and a special guest speaker from the Aiven team. The evening will explore two increasingly important areas of the OpenSearch ecosystem: * Developing effective security analytics using OpenSearch as a detection engineering platform * Building intelligent search experiences with OpenSearch’s agentic search capabilities Whether you work with search, observability, security analytics, AI applications, or data platforms, join us for practical technical sessions, discussions and networking. All experience levels are welcome. [Exoscale](https://www.exoscale.com/) is happy to host the evening with free drinks and snacks—just bring your curiosity and good vibes! **Agenda** * 6:00pm - 6:15pm - Open Doors & Welcome Notes * 6:15pm - 7:00pm - Talk 1 (Paul Hager, [Cert.at,](http://Cert.at,) David Riepl, RISE GmbH) * 7:00pm - 7:30pm - Break (Drinks and Snacks) * 7:30pm - 8:15pm - Talk 2 (Dima Kan, Aiven) * 8:20pm - 9:00pm - Networking (Drinks and Snacks) **Location** A1 Telekom Austria AG Lassallestraße 9, 1020 Wien, Austria --> [https://maps.app.goo.gl/ieZZjHEMHPnhww5i7](https://maps.app.goo.gl/ieZZjHEMHPnhww5i7) **Speakers and Sessions** **Talk 1:** Developing Effective Security Analytics with OpenSearch This talk presents OpenSearch as a scalable detection engineering platform. We will demonstrate how Sigma rules can be developed, managed, and executed against security data, how detections can be mapped to the MITRE ATT&CK framework, and how we can validate whether those detections actually identify realistic adversary behavior. The session also examines practical challenges of detection engineering like rule portability and false positive management, which makes the difference between having a detection rule and having an effective detection capability. **Paul Hager** is a detection and security engineer at [CERT.at,](http://CERT.at,) specializing in threat research and the development of practical security detections. He previously worked as a threat researcher and detection engineer, developing detection content for emerging threats. **David Riepl** is a system engineer at RISE, specializing in product development for log analysis and security monitoring. With over 15 years of experience in the field of IT operations, he has developed expertise in designing and implementing highly available systems, and implementing comprehensive application and security monitoring strategies for complex IT environments. **Talk 2:** Inside OpenSearch’s AI toolkit: From Vector Search to Agents This talk takes a deep dive into how OpenSearch has evolved from a search and analytics engine into a full AI platform, covering: * Machine learning: anomaly detection, in-cluster inference, learning to rank, and user behavior insights (UBI) * AI-powered search: vector search, keyword search, hybrid search, and RAG pipelines built directly on OpenSearch * Agents: orchestration, memory, and multi-turn conversations * Search quality: agent-based tuning and the search relevance workbench * Production readiness: scalability and cost-efficiency trade-offs of running these capabilities at scale **Dmitry “Dima” Kan** is a product leader at Aiven, focusing on managed OpenSearch and AI-powered search technologies. A hands-on technology professional with a PhD in computer science, he combines expertise in software engineering, product management, search, machine learning, and large-scale data platforms. He is
