What happens when offensive AI agents join the Always-On Purple Team? This talk extends continuous purple teaming into the earlier stages of an attack, using AI-powered red team agents for open-source intelligence (OSINT), external attack surface management (EASM), and payload delivery to gain initial access before handing off to a continuous purple teaming pipeline.
Through live demonstrations and lessons learned, we explore how these capabilities fit together, what works in practice, and what it takes to connect offensive operations with ongoing defensive validation. Expect practical guidance and honest discussion of the challenges.


Jeroen Vandeleur brings NVISO field experience and a pragmatic automation mindset to SEC598, helping students apply AI, security monitoring, and purple-team workflows to real operational challenges.
