ON2IT AI Hiring Event for Marketing & Sales · 23 September 2026
Prove AI can’t do your job.
A cybersecurity company is hiring marketers and sales people, live, during a simulated cyberattack. Not to test your tech skills. To test whether you can still out-think the AI doing your job.
On 23 september, a regional utility gets hit, live. While our technical teams contain the attack, you handle what actually reaches the outside world: the client who’s panicking, the journalist who wants a statement, the deal that’s about to fall apart. AI drafts the first version of everything. Your job is knowing when it’s wrong.
You won’t become a security person. You’ll do exactly what you do now, storytelling, client relationships, holding your ground, just with the volume turned all the way up.
What you’ll do
A crisis isn’t only for techies. It never was.
A leak site is bragging. A journalist wants a statement. A CISO client is on the phone, panicking. None of that is a technical problem, and it doesn’t wait for SOC and Development to finish fighting the fire. Marketing and Sales are where this lands first. Find the room that’s yours.
“Anyone can generate copy now. So what am I worth?”
A leak site is bragging. A journalist wants a yes-or-no on the hospitals. Claude hands you a clean, reassuring statement, and you have to decide whether you can actually stand behind a word of it.
“AI writes every sequence. What do I still add?”
The client’s CISO is panicking, threatening to go public, demanding you promise it’s fixed by tonight. ChatGPT gives you the brief. You give them the truth they can act on, without a promise you can’t keep.
“AI sees every risk. Where’s my edge now?”
Two containment options on the table, a deadline closing in, and a board asking what happens if you’re wrong. The fast, textbook fix might just cut power to a hospital. You make the call and defend it in ninety seconds.
“The tools already filter. So what do I do?”
Hundreds of alerts. The AI hands you a confident one-line summary of what’s happening. The timestamps don’t quite agree with it. Do you trust the tool, or the evidence?
“AI structures and plans. What’s left for me?”
A panicked client, a half-written brief, and someone interrupting for answers you don’t have yet. ChatGPT gives you a tidy summary. You find the one question underneath it that the whole decision turns on.
“AI writes the code now. Will I still be needed?”
25 minutes to ship something the team can actually use while the incident runs. The AI writes most of it fast, and quietly gets a piece of it wrong. Do you catch it before it ships?
What this is really about
When the alarms fail, someone still has to keep thinking.
Picture the moment the sirens go off for real. The systems that hospitals and energy and emergency services lean on are under attack, and the clock is running. No script for this. Just people who have to act.
That is the work we do at ON2IT, and it is the afternoon we built for you. AI is in the room. It drafts, it filters, it plans. But the first draft was never the job. Knowing what to cut, sensing what the moment needs, spotting that a confident AI answer is simply wrong: that is the job.
On 23 September you find out where you stand. Not by talking about it, but by doing it.
The afternoon
16:00. The sirens go off.
Four hours. Live scenes across six disciplines. Cross-functional teams, each run by an ON2IT hiring manager. No scripts, just the work, with Claude and ChatGPT within reach.
17:00. The sirens aren’t a test. A regional utility supplying power and water to 400,000 people, three hospitals and the emergency dispatch centre is in the middle of a cyberattack. Dashboards are dark. Billing is down. There are reports of hospitals losing power.
ON2IT is their MDR partner. Which means right now, this is your incident too. When the sirens go off, our job is supposed to already be done, and today is the test of that promise. Not to see whether you are a cybersecurity expert, but how you think, write and negotiate when it counts. Six of you, six jobs, one truth to find: what is actually happening, what to say publicly, and how to keep the client and the deal steady while SOC and Development handle the rest.
Your background is in that room for a reason.

Who we’re looking for
We’re not looking for people.
We’re looking for talent.
You already sense which room is yours. You’ve been thinking about it since you started reading. That instinct is exactly who we’re here for.
Story instinct and a research nose. Reads the market and the competition, knows what to leave out.
Hunts new clients and keeps them. Reads a room, doesn’t fold under pushback.
Brings structure to chaos. Plain language, fast.
Thinks in risk. The question matters more than the answer.
Finds the signal in the noise. Calm when it counts.
AI-first. Ships. Checks what the AI got wrong.

Common questions
Before you reserve your spot.
Do I need cybersecurity experience to join?
No. If you’re coming from Marketing or Sales, your scenario draws entirely on skills you already use daily: storytelling, client relationships, holding your ground under pressure. Your background is the point, not a gap to make up for.
What should I bring?
Bring a laptop. No portfolio, no preparation needed, the afternoon is about how you think, not what you brought.
Is there a cost to attend?
No. It’s on us, food and drinks included.
What happens after the event?
The scenario closes at 19:00 with a group debrief and a food truck. There’s no waiting for a callback, you’ll know. First offers go out within the month, and hiring continues after that.
