Black Hat 2022 was held in Las Vegas last week, at the same time as theCUBE\u2019s supercloud event. Unlike AWS re:Inforce, where words are carefully chosen to put a positive spin on security, Black Hat exposes all the warts of cybersecurity and openly discusses its hard truths. It\u2019s a conference attended by technical experts who proudly share some of the vulnerabilities they\u2019ve discovered and of course by numerous vendors marketing their products and services.\xa0
In this Breaking Analysis we summarize what we learned from discussions with several people who attended Black Hat and our analysis from reviewing dozens of keynotes, articles, videos, session talks, Dark Reading interviews and data from a recent Black Hat attendees survey conducted by Black Hat and Informa. We\u2019ll also share data from ETR in a recent post discussing how Zscaler became the last line of defense for a manufacturing firm.
We\u2019ll end with a discussion of what it all means for the challenges around securing the Supercloud.
