The Great AI Security Debate

Hackers vs Security Engineers — How AI is shaping the future of Cybersecurity!

Step inside a live, interactive debate exploring one of today’s most pressing questions: how artificial intelligence is transforming both cyber attacks and cyber defence.

This high-energy event brings together four hackers (Red Team) and four security engineers (Blue Team) on stage to debate real-world cybersecurity scenarios. From offensive tactics to defensive strategies, both sides will unpack how AI is changing the rules of the game.

Each debate round is time-boxed to keep the discussion sharp, dynamic, and engaging. At the end of every round, the audience votes on which side presented the stronger argument—Red Team or Blue Team. The team that wins the most rounds takes the debate.

A panel of industry leaders will moderate the session, guiding the discussion with curated questions, scenarios, and challenges to ensure the event remains both educational and entertaining.
