Cisco AI Defense CTF
LIVE SCOREBOARD - https://atc-progress-tracker.apps.wwtatc.com/score-board/v2/6994c52f709e01fd79ba619d/large-format?isOnDemandEvent=true
Join us for Cisco AI Defense, an interactive Capture the Flag (CTF) experience designed to showcase how Cisco is securing the future of GenAI.
This is a single player CTF, which will be open for 72 hours. We will have a shared scoreboard. Should players finish with equal scores, final placement will be awarded to the player who achieved their last correct submission in the least amount of time from their first submission.
Powered by our advanced Cyber Range platform, this immersive simulation challenges participants to exploit and defend against real-world AI vulnerabilities — including prompt injection, jailbreaking, and misuse of generative models. You'll see firsthand how Cisco's AI Defense identifies and mitigates these threats in real time.
