Beforehack : Secure Horizons

Before 150 builders lock themselves in for 36 hours of agentic attack-defense at ESSEC Cergy, it all starts here. Slowing down AI buys time. Preparation produces defenders. Join us for the Secure Horizons: BeforeHack—the official warm-up to our October 10–11 hackathon. What to expect: - Threat Insights: A quick dive into real-world agentic exploits and a sneak peek at what awaits at the hackathon. - Team Matchmaking: Pitch your skills, meet top builders from the grandes écoles, and assemble your squad before the 36-hour battle. - Networking & Mentors: Connect with the teams from UTOPIA, KRYPTOSPHERE, and ESSEC MetaLab, along with cybersecurity and applied AI mentors over drinks. Who is this for? Selected hackathon builders, applicants seeking a team, and AI/security professionals looking to mentor or judge.
