Episode Notes
The Black Hat SecTor Conference, scheduled for October 22-24, 2024, in Toronto, promises an array of discussions and insights into the cybersecurity domain. Steve Wylie, General Manager of Black Hat, joins ITSP Magazine's Sean Martin and Marco Ciappelli to preview the upcoming event. Wylie highlights the acquisition of SecTor by Black Hat in 2019, underscoring its unique focus on the Canadian cybersecurity community while maintaining global research standards.
This year's event features three main components: summits, briefings, and a business hall. The summits, including a new AI summit, address various specialized topics, while the briefings provide in-depth research presentations. Keynote speakers like New York University’s Omkhar Arasaratnam, who will discuss security in open-source platforms, further enrich the event. Arasaratnam's focus on the XZ Utils backdoor incident emphasizes the critical nature of open-source security, highlighting both risks and mitigation strategies.
The agenda also includes a diverse range of sessions on AI, reflecting its significant role in current cybersecurity practices. Talks range from AI vulnerabilities to the protection and utilization of AI in enterprise security. Sessions such as "15 Ways to Break Your Co-Pilot" and discussions on deepfake image detection systems present real-world challenges and solutions in this area.
Wylie also discusses the importance of community engagement, noting the sector's provisions for networking and collaboration. The founders of the original event continue to contribute actively, ensuring the event remains closely tied to its original mission of serving Canada's cybersecurity professionals. Martin expresses enthusiasm for meeting regional participants and learning about their unique challenges and solutions, emphasizing the value of shared knowledge and strategies. The event is positioned as a vital convergence point for both local and international cybersecurity insights and advancements.
In summary, SecTor 2024 aims to foster a robust exchange of ideas and solutions, drawing from a wide array of expertise within the cybersecurity field. Attendees can look forward to engaging with high-profile speakers, participating in focused discussions, and exploring the latest industry innovations.
