Artificial intelligence is reshaping cybersecurity , not only by introducing new threats, but by enabling smarter collaboration between offensive and defensive teams. This session explores how AI can enhance purple team exercises to break organizational silos, improve detection capabilities, and strengthen institutional resilience in education environments.

Attendees will learn how to design AI-assisted purple team exercises that simulate modern threats, automate analysis, and translate insights into actionable security improvements. Through practical frameworks and real world examples, participants will gain strategies to build collaborative security programs that scale even with limited resources.

Learning objectives:

• Understand how artificial intelligence enhances purple team exercises and improves collaboration between offensive and defensive security teams.
• Learn practical methods to design AI-assisted simulations that strengthen detection and incident response capabilities.
• Develop strategies to use AI tools to break security silos and build scalable cybersecurity programs within education institutions.
