What teams must build
Build an AI agent.
Solve a real security challenge.
Choose one focused problem from the three tracks and create a working agent, multi-agent system or agent-enabled platform. It should use real or realistic evidence, select useful tools, explain its decision and produce a safe next action—not only answer questions or return a risk score.
Take in evidence
Use logs, messages, code, shipment events, alerts, URLs or documents.
Investigate and decide
Call tools or models, connect context, explain the evidence and state uncertainty.
Act safely
Recommend or perform a useful defensive action with approval limits and an audit trail.
Three directions
Choose your track.
