Join us for an exclusive deep dive into the IEEE SA 2026 Cybersecurity Hackathon. As AI integration accelerates, the surface area for cyber threats expands. This webinar is designed to prepare participants to tackle real-world challenges using the TIPPSS Framework: Trust, Identity, Privacy, Protection, Safety, and Security.

We will explore the hackathon’s core tracks—including AI Security, Healthcare, Automotive, and Distributed Energies—and provide technical guidance on building prototypes that influence future global standards. Whether you are a professional, researcher, or student, this session will cover:

• Challenge Deep-Dives: Understanding the problem statements.
• Eligibility & Team Formation: How to secure your mandatory IEEE Professional lead.
• The CTF & Beyond: Navigating the evaluation phases and submission requirements.
• Expert Mentorship: How to leverage IEEE resources to scale your solution.
• Discover. Defend. Innovate. Secure your spot and learn how your ideas can shape the future of global cybersecurity.

To maximize global reach, we have split the sessions to accommodate specific time zones.

The IEEE SA 2026 Cybersecurity Hackathon invites innovators from around the world to develop solutions that address modern cybersecurity challenges, particularly those emerging from the rapid adoption of AI.

Participants will explore ways to:

• Protect sensitive data used by AI systems
• Help individuals and organizations understand how their data is used
• Improve transparency, security, and trust in AI-driven environments
• Contribute insights that may inform future IEEE cybersecurity standards

Hosted virtually, the hackathon brings together global talent to build prototypes, solve challenge problems, and collaborate with mentors and industry experts.
