Cyberdefense Hackathon
As AI gets more capable, so do the threats.
AI is reshaping the economics of cyberattacks: vulnerabilities can be found faster, attacks automated, and sophisticated techniques deployed at unprecedented scale.
Recent security tests also show frontier AI systems escaping controlled environments and reaching real-world systems. Yet this shift gives defenders a rare opportunity to rethink how we secure critical software, infrastructure, and digital systems.
We want to bring together developers, security engineers, ML/AI engineers, infrastructure engineers, and agent builders to tackle this head-on.
🛡️ What You’re Building For
Threat discovery · find vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and attack paths before they’re exploited
Attack intelligence · turn fragmented signals into a clear picture of what’s happening
Autonomous remediation · patch, harden, and verify fixes with minimal human intervention
Continuous defense · systems that monitor, adapt, and respond as threats evolve
Our Partners
AWS · Cloud infrastructure and security services powering some of the world’s most critical systems.
Guild AI · AI infrastructure for building, evaluating, and deploying intelligent systems.
ClickHouse · High-performance analytics infrastructure for making sense of massive volumes of data in real time.
