Program

The 2010 Executive Briefing will begin with an introduction from one of the highest-ranked US government officials, discussing the importance of cyber security to homeland security.

The morning sessions will preview the most important technical discussions planned for the main Black Hat Briefings. Lead by Jeff Moss, founder of Black Hat and DEFCON, these previews will enable executives to discuss the implications of the newest vulnerabilities and attacks with their peers and the actual researchers. Executives can then use this knowledge to prepare their teams ahead of time and direct their technical experts to the most important research being released.

The afternoon sessions will include a number of strategic discussions around the latest threats and long-term countermeasures to be taken into consideration.

After the Executive Briefing and Reception, executives are invited to mingle with speakers at the Black Hat Speaker Party in the Caesar’s Penthouse until 2:00 AM.
