AI Security Hackathon — $950 in prizes up for grabs 🏆

AI Security Hackathon — Build, Break, Defend

It’s Security Awareness Month. Less talking. More building.
On October 22, we’re taking over Lisbon for an evening-long AI Security Hackathon — and the challenge is simple:
Build something for AI security. Then prove you’ve built it securely.
And yes, we’re making it competitive:

🏆 $950 in gift cards for the top 3 projects!

🥇 1st place: $500 gift card
🥈 2nd place: $300 gift card
🥉 3rd place: $150 gift card

Monitoring. Defense. Attacks. Detection. Guardrails. Agent security. Red teaming. Something we haven’t thought of yet. If it helps us understand, secure, monitor, test, or break AI-powered systems, it’s fair game.
Come with an idea, find some teammates, open your laptop, and start building.

The Challenge
You have until 8:30 PM to:

1. Build an AI security-related project.
2. Scan your project for code and open-source security issues.
3. Submit it to the judges.

What you build is up to you. Surprise us.
