Ever since it was introduced in 1997 by Jeff Moss, Black Hat has emerged to become one of the most promising information security events across the world. Apart from informative discussions and briefings, the Black Hat event also comes up as a promising opportunity for the networking and security vendors to unveil their ground-breaking products and services in front of an audience, which consists of thousands of security professionals, C-Suite executives, and small-business owners.
Due to the pandemic, black hat all across the world faced a challenging problem: how to continue operating despite the widespread closure of offices and other facilities? Their continued reliance on IT, including their data centers, cloud services, departmental servers, and the electronic devices their now-remote employees need to connect to one another and to the company’s data, becomes even more essential.
Black Hat Event before and after the pandemic
The COVID-19 outbreak forced many large conferences to either move online or cancel altogether. In 2020, the Black Hat hacker convention chose to go online-only for the first time in its decades-long history. Black Hat 2021 was one of the first important technology conferences conducted in-person after COVID-19 but with only 5,000 attendees and got a place for only prominent companies to exhibit.
For more than 20 years, it has provided users with the most recent information on security trends, developments, and research. In order to bring together the best brains in the security industry, these eminent worldwide conferences and training are driven by the needs of the security community. Academics, leading researchers, and executives in the public and private sectors can all grow and collaborate thanks to Black Hat.
Covid-19 has not only brought a deadly virus, but also promoted many cyberattacks. The surge in the attacks has been a result of the work from home environment where our unsecured networks give way to the exploitation of many vulnerabilities present in our networks. Everything has shifted to the cloud, along with the focus of cybercriminals. This has called for an urgent state of cybersecurity.
Now in its 25th year, Black Hat 2022 is excited to present a unique hybrid event experience, offering the cybersecurity community a choice in how they wish to participate. This time the producer of the cybersecurity industry’s most established and in-depth security events, returns to Las Vegas celebrating Black Hat USA’s 25th anniversary with a hybrid event on August 6 – August 11. The event will take place at Mandalay Bay Convention Center with both a virtual experience and an in-person event, offering a robust lineup of over 80 Briefings hand selected by the Black Hat Review Board, composed of some of the industry’s most respected experts.

Why should you visit the Strobes Security booth (IC22)?
With the recent increase in cyberattacks, it is critical that businesses are aware of the threat and can identify vulnerabilities in their systems. Cyber threats are becoming not only more common, but also more sophisticated. Pentesting can increase the value of vulnerability assessments by identifying the likelihood of a vulnerability being compromised as well as any associated risk if it is exploited. This allows vulnerability program managers to better prioritize and manage risk. Strobes Security can help you to modernize the way pentesting is done and do vulnerability management based on risk. Learn more how to boost security team productivity by over 30% and the smart way to have complete control over security assessments and cyber risk posture using Strobes Security flagship products Strobes PTaaS and Strobes VM365.
