About the hackathon

Overview Organised by AeglysAI | Free Participation | Individual and Team Entries AEGYTHON 2026 is an AI/ML and Cybersecurity hackathon that challenges students, developers, engineers, and researchers to build practical, intelligent solutions for real-world problems. Participants will explore areas such as identity security, anomaly detection, API traffic monitoring, security alert explanation, outage prediction, and AI-powered solutions for everyday challenges. The focus is on working prototypes, technical understanding, responsible innovation, and reproducible results—not just ideas or presentations. Challenge Areas Participants can choose from six problem statements: Smart Login Guardian: Identify suspicious login attempts and explain potential risk signals. Find the Anomaly: Detect unusual patterns in synthetic data or system measurements. API Traffic Watch: Identify unusual API request patterns and traffic spikes using synthetic requests. Explain My Security Alert: Convert structured security alerts into clear explanations and safe recommendations. Predict the Outage: Analyse synthetic system metrics to identify early warning signs of possible outages. AI for Everyday Life: Build a practical AI/ML solution addressing a meaningful everyday problem. Eligibility Students, graduate students, early-career engineers, experienced pract…
