Cisco Talos is back at Black Hat with new research, threat detection overviews and opportunities to connect with our team. Whether you’re interested in what we’re seeing in the threat landscape, detection engineering or real-world incident response, here’s where and how to find us: 

Visit us at the Cisco booth: 2726 

We’ll have short, 15-minute booth talks throughout Wednesday and Thursday of Black Hat, with topics including: 

• Talos Vulnerability Discovery Year in Review

We also have these sessions as part of the wider conference agenda: 

Lunch & Learn: Backdoors & Breaches 

Lagoon KL, Level 2 | Wednesday, Aug 6, 12:05–1:30 PM

Visit the Splunk Booth: Threat Hunters Cookbook Launch 

Splunk Booth 3046

Our colleagues at Splunk will be launching their brand new Threat Hunters Cookbook in hard copy. We’ve had a sneak preview, and trust us, this is a brilliant resource for those who want to use modelling and machine learning to conduct threat hunts that really get the best out of your efforts.  

 

If you’re at the show, we’d love to hear what you’re working on, so stop by the Cisco booth (and grab yourself a Snorty while you’re at it). See you in Vegas!
