Black Hat USA 2020 Preview: Election Security, COVID Disinformation and More
2020-07-31 10:30

I know, it's not presented by Charlie Miller and Chris Valasek, necessarily, but there is always really cool car security research that comes out of Black Hat.

You know, it'll be interesting to see how I mean how the vendors deal with communicating their messages outside of the Black Hat in a sense that you know, so much about Black Hat wasn't actually about the sessions, but some of the off-site stuff and some of the meet and greets and some of the private briefings.

DEFCON is sort of the other conference that is such an important part of my Black Hat Las Vegas experience and, and help me help me and remind me what the plan of action is DEF CON, in terms of how they're going to structure that event that usually overlaps and, and really is that you know, sort of for me the icing on the cake in terms of security coverage of the show.

I think that'll be a cool twist on the entire election security narrative, because it's really bringing in the research community into the channel of communication a bit there and how that's going to evolve and what the security research industry, like what kind of role they have to play with election security coming up right around the corner.

So yeah, it'll be interesting, but I'm also really interested to know, we've had voting villages and huge warning signs around election security.
