The US government is there in force, looking to recruit those willing to serve the country, and can be unusually candid at times. In addition there's the expo floor – smaller than what you'd find at, say, the RSA Conference, but generally with more interesting stands. Still, gambling on something is part of the fun of Las Vegas for some. When Apple decided to present at Black Hat for the first time in 2012, there were large queues to get in – but the actual talk was just a disappointing rehash of a public white paper. Sadly, not all talks are of such high standard, and with so many on the schedule, you need to choose how to spend your time with care. In the past there have been some notable sessions, including the late Dan Kaminsky's 2008 presentation on how he discovered a DNS-level vulnerability that could have been exploited to break the internet Barnaby Jack's cash-spewing ATM demonstration and Charlie Miller and Chris Valasek's talks on compromising not-so-smart vehicles. A good example of that would be a talk by John Caruthers, formerly of the FBI, on Wednesday afternoon. There's also a plethora of IoT security sessions scheduled, and a lot on the perils and benefits of cyber insurance. This is going to be a central theme of the show and there are multiple talks scheduled on the topic.įinally, for those wanting an update on what Uncle Sam is doing to shore up its cyber security, Thursday's keynote will be given by Kemba Walden, the acting US National Cyber Director for the Executive Office of the President, who is set to explain the finer points of that strategy.
Maria Markstedter, Arm CPU specialist and founder of Azeria Labs, will be exploring the likely effect of AI on security.
The Wednesday morning keynote is unusual.
