Agents of Chaos: A New $100K Agentic Security Challenge

CrowdStrike, Monday, August 31st, 2026

CrowdStrike launches Agents of Chaos, a $100K AI red teaming competition testing defenses against adversarial AI.

CrowdStrike introduced Agents of Chaos, an immersive AI red teaming competition with a $100,000 prize pool.

Participants defend simulated environments against adversarial AI techniques, testing skills that traditional capture-the-flag exercises do not cover. The challenge is designed to build practical experience with prompt injection, agent hijacking and other emerging attack classes.

CrowdStrike frames it as a way to grow the pool of practitioners who can defend agentic systems as enterprises deploy them.
