Virtual Black Hat: Rapid7 Experts Share Key Takeaways from Day 1 Sessions

Virtual Black Hat: Rapid7 Experts Share Key Takeaways from Day 1 Sessions

Boy, oh boy, has Black Hat changed.


Where we once looked up at the neon lights of Las Vegas, we now gaze into the glow of our laptop screens. The bustle of the Business Hall has been replaced by the rustle of papers from our isolated desks. And we’ve gone from shaking hands with other security pros to shaking up cocktails from the comfort of our home offices—hey, pandemic or no pandemic, there were always going to be cocktails.


But even with all these changes, the core mission of Black Hat has remained the same: to share vital information, show off new tools and techniques, and connect with the cybersecurity community.


We know that even from home, it can be tough to catch everything you want to see at Black Hat, so we had our experts do the work for you as part of our Virtual Vegas event. In briefings held earlier this morning, they discussed their key takeaways from Black Hat sessions surrounding research, vulnerability management, and detection and response. Here’s what they had to say.
