Cyberdefense Hackathon

about this event

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.

Note: This event is fully in-person in San Francisco. Capacity is strictly limited. All attendees must apply and be approved prior to the event. Unapproved or pending applicants will not be admitted at the door. Maximum team size is four. 18+ only.
