Here's a sneak peek of what we have planned from August 9-12 at this all-star lineup of cybersecurity sessions. That includes a whole lot of Rapid7 team members - it's been a busy few years for our research and product teams alike, and we've got a lot to catch our colleagues up on. This year, however, the week of Black Hat is back in action, in a form that feels much more familiar for those who've spent years making the pilgrimage to Vegas each August. Black Hat returned in 2021, but with a much heavier emphasis than previous years on virtual events over in-person offerings, and many of those who would have attended in non-COVID times opted to take in the briefings from their home offices instead of flying out to Vegas. The week of Black Hat, DEF CON, and BSides is highly anticipated annual tradition for the cybersecurity community, a weeklong chance for security pros from all corners of the industry to meet in Las Vegas to talk shop and share what they've spent the last 12 months working on.īut like many beloved in-person events, 20 put a major damper on this tradition for the security community, known unofficially as Hacker Summer Camp.
