Inspiring Sustainable Development
To inspire sustainable development in the cybersecurity community, Black Hat is featuring Briefings, Community Sessions, Meet-Ups, and Networking Events that connect to sustainability, diversity, and inclusivity:
We host an annual Student Scholarship, as well as partner with organizations to increase accessibility to our event in the form of scholarships.
Community Lounge: A new feature for 2025 as part of our Community Programming, the Community Lounge is designed to shed light on current issues and provide a safe space to connect as a community on common interests or goals.
Hacking the Status Quo: Tales from Leading Women in Cybersecurity: This Community Conversation focuses on careers, challenges, and successes in cybersecurity, from women that are part of Black Hat’s Review Board. This is a great opportunity to network with other women within the field.
Career Quest: This interactive CTF-style challenge will push participants to complete hands-on exercises in key career development areas, earning points along the way. This is not just another career workshop. This is about active participation, real-time learning, and coming out ahead.
