As AI accelerates offensive cyber capabilities, defenders can no longer rely on traditional detection methods alone. This session explores how “vibe detection engineering” and compound AI approaches are reshaping cyber defense through deception, automation, and adaptive response. Using real-world examples and emerging concepts like agentic network deception, attendees will learn how defenders can think like attackers, leverage AI-driven deception frameworks, and dramatically reduce the time between detection and response. Through demonstrations and strategic insights, the presenters will show how modern defenders can “fight lies with lies” by deploying intelligent decoys, poisoning attacker reconnaissance, and shrinking the defender decision loop. The session highlights how deception technologies and AI-assisted workflows can help security teams regain operational advantage in an era where AI has fundamentally shifted the speed and scale of cyber threats.
