Special thanks to our event sponsors

PBC Connect events bring together CISOs, AppSec, infrastructure security, product security, AI security, and cyber resilience leaders for high-value discussion, networking, and community-building.

This year's Black Hat gathering focused on the future of AI security, vulnerability management, product security, and frontier AI risk, anchored by a featured fireside chat with Jason Clinton, Phil Venables and Subra Kumaraswamy on how security leaders should prepare for the risks from advanced AI capabilities.
