On March 13, 2026, ARMIS participated in the Microsoft AI & Security Summit, one of the leading events dedicated to innovation, security, and the responsible adoption of Artificial Intelligence. As an official sponsor of the event, ARMIS reaffirmed its commitment to the security of modern digital environments, standing out with a hands-on and engaging session dedicated to AI security and autonomous agents.
AI and Agents Security Capture the Flag (CTF) Session
The AI and Agent Security Capture the Flag (CTF) session, featuring Nuno Marques, Head of Identity and Security, and Luís Costa, Team Manager of Identity & Security at ARMIS Group, provided an immersive hands-on experience designed to address real-world security challenges associated with AI-driven systems.
Session Structure
Structured in a Capture the Flag format, the session challenged participants to identify vulnerabilities, analyze the behavior of autonomous agents, and apply security techniques to discover and capture hidden flags across multiple technical scenarios. Each challenge was inspired by real-world environments, reflecting the emerging risks in modern architectures that combine Artificial Intelligence, automation, and intelligent agents.
Incorporating Security from AI Solution Design
Throughout the exercise, participants explored potential attack vectors, configuration weaknesses, and operational risks, reinforcing the importance of integrating security practices from the outset of AI solution design.
The session highlighted key principles such as visibility, continuous monitoring, and active defense, all essential for protecting increasingly autonomous and distributed digital ecosystems. By adopting a hands-on approach, the session demonstrated how security must evolve at the same pace as technological innovation, keeping up with the growing complexity of intelligent systems.
Collaboration, Competition, and Applied Learning
The collaborative and competitive nature of the CTF fostered knowledge sharing among participants, encouraging teamwork and the practical application of skills in cybersecurity, threat analysis, and the protection of identities and intelligent systems.
Beyond being a technical challenge, the session served as a learning-oriented environment where participants gained practical insights into how organizations can identify and mitigate security risks associated with the adoption of AI and autonomous agents in their operations.
As Artificial Intelligence continues to play a central role in business operations, initiatives like this underscore the importance of combining innovation with a robust security-first approach, ensuring trust, resilience, and long-term business continuity.
As a strategic partner in security, identity, cloud, and AI, ARMIS supports organizations seeking to adopt Artificial Intelligence in a secure, efficient, and best-practice-aligned manner. Organizations can benefit from our end-to-end capabilities, ranging from secure AI solution architecture, infrastructure modernization, governance, and automation, to continuous monitoring and cybersecurity operations.
