After 6 days of intensive infosec imbibement, Black Hat USA 2017 – and thus our time in Vegas – has come to an end. For those in attendance, the week went by in a flash – not surprising really, as each day was packed with briefings to attend, demos to watch, tools to try, and of course, swag to collect.
It has been an amazing first day at the Black Hat USA main conference. As expected, thousands upon thousands of security professionals arrived at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center to witness the infosec spectacle that is Black Hat.
Before closing the evening, let’s take a quick look back at what happened at Briefings Day 1.
Two decades on from its inception, one of the biggest security events in the world – Black Hat USA – has again kicked off in Vegas for a week of unbridled infosec indulgence, and we’re psyched to take part in the festivities.
In May 2017, we launched the third edition of our MISSIONS. With the stakes so high, and with one of the biggest security events calling, enrollments (and thus, entries) came pouring in from the very first week. Now, two months and hundreds of entries later, the time has come to find out who among you will be headed to the Sin City for the ultimate infosec experience.
After flying around Dubai, getting students #shirtified internationally, and sending out a special-edition iPhone 7, we are now on the latest edition of our globetrotting MISSIONS.
This time, we head westward to yet another desert – the Mojave – wherein lies the fabled City of Sin.
Black Hat is returning in Las Vegas, Nevada for its annual cybersecurity event . Running on its 18th year, this most technical and relevant information security gathering will be held at the Mandalay Bay Hotel. You can expect plenty of trainings from cybersecurity professionals, briefings from experts, and opportunities to network with like-minded individuals.
