Cybersecurity × AI: Berlin's Builders, Breakers & Backers
Secret, Berlin, DEAI has changed both sides of the security equation at once. Attackers are automating reconnaissance, phishing, and exploit development at a scale that didn't exist two years ago.
Defenders are shipping agents that triage alerts, patch code, and hunt threats faster than any SOC team could. And an entirely new attack surface — the models themselves — is being built into products before anyone has agreed on how to secure it.
Berlin has quietly become one of Europe's densest clusters of people working on exactly this problem: security founders, ML engineers, red teamers, CISOs, researchers, and the investors funding them. This meetup is an attempt to get them in one room.⚠️ Attendance is limited and by application only
We're capping this event at 10 people. The reason is deliberate: we'd rather have a room where everyone present is actually working in this space than a large room where most people are browsing. Smaller rooms mean better conversations and a much higher chance you meet the two or three people who matter for what you're building.
To be considered, apply here: https://luma.com/5vqgtq1h
The form takes about two minutes. We'll ask for:
- Your name and where you work
- What you're building, investing in, or researching
- Your role (founder / engineer / security lead / investor / researcher / other)
- What you're hoping to get out of the evening
We review applications on a rolling basis and confirm attendees by email. Applying early genuinely helps — once we're at capacity we close the list. If you're not selected this time, you'll be first in line for the next one.
What to expect
- [2–3 short talks] from founders and practitioners building at the intersection — offensive AI, AI-native defense tooling, securing LLM applications, compliance under the EU AI Act
- An open Q&A where hard questions are welcome
- Long-form networking
Who we're looking for
Founders (pre-idea to Series B), security engineers and researchers, red teamers, CISOs and security leads, VCs and angels active in the space, and serious people looking to move into it.11 attendees
