Security teams are leaning more and more on autonomous systems to detect threats, investigate incidents, analyse infrastructure, and automate repetitive work. At the same time, AI is opening up new attack surfaces and new defensive options. This hackathon digs into the future of AI-powered cybersecurity: How can autonomous agents improve security operations?Where should humans stay in the loop?What does trustworthy, secure AI infrastructure actually look like?How do we build safer systems for the next generation of software? Whether you're into critical infrastructure, digital forensics, cryptography, or incident response, this is your shot at prototyping the future of cybersecurity. 🤝 Partners & Sponsors Co-hosts Nodirjon (Nodir) UmurkulovAbdelaziz Zizou BrahmiFrancisco Terpolilli Technology Partners SupabaseModalOvermindIBMSAP Community Partners Oli Kingshot - Founder, Night OfficeNodirjon (Nodir) Umurkulov - Ambassador, TryHackMeAbdelaziz Zizou Brahmi - Board Member, Security Builder Club Judges Umberto Belluzzo - Investor, Earlybird VenturesDavid Gelberg - AI Innovation Fellow, 10 Downing StreetJai Taylor - Principal, Blue Wire CapitalPaul Price - Founder, CodeWallNaol Basaye, EF Spring 2026Tyler Edwards - Founder & CEO, OvermindHani Momeninia - AI Security, SAPRares-Teodor Ciucur - Cyber Security Consultant, IBM 🏆 Tracks Projects can compete across areas including: Incident ResponseOffensive SecurityAI SecurityBonus Sponsor Challenges More tracks and sponsor prize buckets to be announced. 🏆 Demo Format Every team submits a live demo at code freeze.
