Accelerating adoption of AI for cybersecurity at DEF CON 33
Brief
Posted by Elie Bursztein and Marianna Tishchenko, Google Privacy, Safety and Security Team Empowering cyber defenders with AI is critical to tilting the cybersecurity balance back in their favor as they battle cybercriminals and keep users safe.
To help accelerate adoption of AI for cybersecurity workflows, we partnered with Airbus at DEF CON 33 to host the GenSec Capture the Flag (CTF) , dedicated to human-AI collaboration in cybersecurity. Our goal was to create a fun, interactive environment, where participants across various skill levels could explore how AI can accelerate their daily cybersecurity workflows.
At GenSec CTF, nearly 500 participants successfully completed introductory challenges, with 23% of participants using AI for cybersecurity for the very first time.
