The Black Hat USA conference, one of the industry's oldest and most well-established security events, took place this year as a hybrid event, combining in-person attendance with virtual participation. The event drew nearly 14,600 attendees who logged into the virtual platform, making it the largest hybrid conference in cybersecurity since the shift to virtual events. Datadog participated both as an exhibitor and speaker, showcasing its Cloud Security Posture Management product and announcing the general availability of Datadog Cloud Workload Security. The conference highlighted the growing demand for threat detection solutions, particularly cloud-native and managed SIEM solutions. Keynotes emphasized the importance of collaboration in moving security efforts forward, with a focus on DevOps and external government partnerships. The Black Hat Briefings featured a diverse range of topics, including cloud-targeted attacks, privilege escalation, and full-stack security with Datadog's Cloud Security Platform.
