Division Hex At Apre Cyber Summit square

AI May Not Take Your Job, But It’s Taking Your Flags.

Catch DivisionHex's Principal, Defensive Services, Mike Spicer, as he presents a real-world case study on what happens when frontier AI and autonomous agents are pushed into adversarial cybersecurity conditions. 

Drawing from a winning capture-the-flag competition at SAINTCON, Mike shares how AI accelerated solves, automated relentless workflows, and delivered measurable advantage, along with where it failed through hallucinations, context loss, and tool drift.

This session breaks down the practical lessons learned, including how to design effective AI workflows, orchestrate tools for speed, monitor AI behavior under pressure, and apply human oversight at the right moments to avoid costly mistakes. 

Attendees will walk away with a grounded understanding of where AI meaningfully helps defenders today and where caution is still required.
