WHAT ARE THE BLACK HAT BRIEFINGS?
The Black Hat Briefings was created to fill the need for computer security professionals to better understand the security risks to information infrastructures and computer systems. Black Hat accomplishes this by assembling a group of vendor-neutral security professionals and having them speak candidly about the problems businesses and Governments face as well as potential solutions to those problems. No gimmicks – just straight talk by people who make it their business to know the information security space. The following timeslots are available: 25, 50 and 120 minutes (please note the 120 minute timeslots are only available for workshops).
