Las Vegas - Black Hat and DEF CON 2019 may be wrapping up, but the dual conferences last week in Las Vegas left the security industry with a flurry of new security flaws, topics and announcements to discuss for the weeks to come.

Threatpost editors Tara Seals and Lindsey O'Donnell get together to discuss the highs and lows from the conference. The highs include a widespread trend around increased collaboration between vendors and researchers pinpointed during the keynote by Square's Dino Dai Zovi. That includes:

• An improved public bug bounty programannounced by Apple that increases product scope and rewards
• Microsoft offering $300,000 for working exploits
• New IoT flaws discovered- and in the process of being updated - in high-end hotels

In addition, Threatpost discusses why Black Hat came under scrutiny for a sponsored "Time AI" encryption session that many researchers criticized as a scam.
