Hacker Halted

Cybersecurity has always contended with evolving threats. As the internet has become more embedded into social and economic life and smart phones, tablets and other handheld devices become ubiquitous, bad actors have devised new attacks to capitalize on new vulnerabilities. And just as agencies are implementing zero trust architecture to help with this wave, other IT developments are threatening to upend cybersecurity even more. For instance, artificial intelligence is being incorporated into software, even as elected officials and regulatory agencies are trying to develop new rules of the road for its use. At the same time, historically-offline operations technology is beginning to be integrated with IT systems, opening up the OT to attacks that previously weren’t feasible.

Attackers employ a variety of threats with the goal of deliberately infiltrating, disrupting, exposing, damaging or stealing from their intended targets. These cyberattacks come in many forms, understanding the various types of cyberthreats and how to properly defend against them is imperative for enabling secure and successful business growth. Following the success of our inaugural Practitioner MicroSummit in December we will be hosting our second event in January. Join us for an afternoon of technical insights where we will look at how the network, endpoint and cloud all provide the necessary information to effectively identify, protect, detect and respond to these threats and Unit 42 - our class-leading Threat Intelligence and consultancy services arm - will bring these data-points into line with the essential processes needed to effectively recover from an attack. Post Summit, join the team for an informal evening reception whilst admiring the best views of London on the 55th floor of our flagship London office at 22 Bishopsgate.

Black Hat provides attendees with the latest in research, development, and trends in Information Security. Here the brightest professionals and researchers in the industry come together for a total of four days—two or four days of deeply technical hands-on Trainings, followed by two days of the latest research and vulnerability disclosures in the Briefings. Black Hat Asia will be a Live, In-Person Event in Singapore, April 16-19, followed one week later by a Virtual Experience including recordings of all Briefings and Sponsored Sessions, available April 25. See the Conference Highlights below for more details.

The Benelux Cyber Summit is returning to Amsterdam on 14-15 November 2023! Over 2 days, we will be exploring the most important recent trends in the region’s cyber security, with the ultimate aim of protecting our organisations from malicious actors and cyber threats.
