The One with the Cybersecurity hack
Attendees will participate in a no pressure, hands-on cybersecurity vibe coding challenge. We will be set a task by our cyber security expert, and in collaboration in teams, we will work together with the members of the B2600 community to build some working software using AI. No previous experience of Cybersecurity, or software development is required. This is designed to be a chance to learn a bit about Cybersecurity and Vibe coding. We will be asking attendees to bring a laptop if you can (pre-requisite software required will be sent out in advance).
