How Talos helped defend Black Hat's network in Vegas

Talos Takes

What happens when the hackers become the hacked? Black Hat is one of the largest cybersecurity conferences in the world, and Talos had a hand in defending the on-site network for the past few years. Yuri Kramarz from Talos Incident Response worked in Black Hat's Network Operations Center this year to help defend Black Hat's network and attendees who connected to the network while attending the conference in August in Las Vegas. He joins Talos Takes this week to discuss what he's learned from the past few years working in the NOC, what types of threats Black Hat faces, and the lessons learned he now takes back into the field with customers. You can also read his reflections on working in the NOC in 2022 here.
