Lessons from Hacker Summer Camp
Hacker Summer Camp took place in early August, bringing together hackers, researchers, practitioners and leaders in cybersecurity to review recent trends, research and tools. What was at the cutting edge of these topics at B-Sides, Black Hat USA and DEF CON? What are the current trends in cybersecurity and cybersecurity research? What should security practitioners be aware of to better find and mitigate threats?

This informative, discussion-driven webinar features a panel of conference attendees who will share their on-the-ground perspectives and key takeaways. You’ll learn about some of the major themes that emerged across all three conferences, including:
- AI Adoption vs. Security Reality: The continued rapid adoption of AI despite pervasive, demonstrable security concerns
- The Double-Edged Sword of Automation: Deploy fast, break faster — and with a bigger blast radius
- Expanding Attack Surfaces: How developers and automation tooling are being exploited for initial access
- AI-Accelerated Threats: How AI is accelerating the kill chain
