The Black Hat Sustaining Sponsor Program aims to increase visibility for organizations who support the mission of Black Hat by committing in advance to sponsoring at least 3 Black Hat events in a calendar year. Sustaining Sponsors are called out in all conference materials and proceedings, and are included both on the main page of the Black Hat site and in a page devoted to Sustaining Sponsors that includes a 125-word description of the sponsor and photos of senior management.

Industry experts and analysts agree: the more information that you can manage, the better. However, most SIEM and log management solutions quickly bog down when asked to monitor, store, correlate and analyze every relevant data source on your network. NitroSecurity uses unique, patented technology to blow away the performance barriers that prevent information security analysts from gaining total visibility to their infrastructure.
