Summary

While the pandemic presents challenges to in-person gatherings like Black Hat and DEF CON, dedicated security professionals and hackers continue to innovate and adapt. To make the most of this year's virtual lineup, attendees should prioritize digital hygiene by sanitizing their devices and using a burner phone or similar setup for an immersive experience. They can also tune into various panels, demos, events, chats, and meetups featuring notable speakers and security experts, including discussions on vulnerability disclosure in the medical sector, regaining control of a rogue satellite, and securing elections under uncertainty. Additionally, attendees can engage with communities through Discord channels and read interviews with Black Hat 2020 CISO Summit advisory board members to stay updated on current security trends.
