The cybersecurity landscape continues to evolve at a breakneck pace. New threats emerge daily, and the stakes have never been higher, especially as artificial intelligence (AI) is infused into every aspect of business. As security and business leaders, it’s crucial to stay ahead of the curve and ensure your organization is equipped to handle the ever-changing threat landscape.
For over two decades, Black Hat has been the premier gathering of cybersecurity professionals, providing a platform for experts to share knowledge, showcase innovative solutions, and discuss the latest threats and trends.
This year’s Black Hat 2024 conference promises to be the most exciting yet, with a packed agenda that will tackle the most pressing issues facing the industry, with a key focus on the impact of AI.
If you’re planning to attend Black Hat this year, here’s a roadmap into where to find us and how to connect with our leadership and X-Force experts.

Book a Cyber Range experience
Outdated alert rosters and dusty playbooks don’t help in a crisis. Effective response to cyber incidents needs drilled plans and coordinated business-wide activity, from security and operations to the C-suite and boardroom, to business units, and from HR to PR. They all need the skills, reflexes, and guidance to act with confidence in fluid and confusing situations.
Join us for a 1-hour non-technical experience at Black Hat that tests your business responses in a simulated breach experience that will help you gain a greater understanding of best practices and tactics for responding to a breach, the importance of implementing a well-practiced response plan, and the leadership skills required to deal with the advanced threats we face today. Book your experience here.
Whether you’re a seasoned security pro or just starting out, you won’t want to miss this opportunity to learn from the best in the business. Mark your calendars for Black Hat 2024 and get ready to join the conversation that will shape the future of cybersecurity. Follow us on LinkedIn for all Black Hat updates leading up to, and at, the event.
