Summary

There's a week-long event in Las Vegas where cybersecurity professionals, hackers, blue teamers, red teamers, bug bounty hunters, and cloud security researchers come together to learn, share, and attend conferences such as Blackhat, Defcon, Bsides Vegas, and The Diana Initiative. These events are part of the Hacker Summer Camp, which includes a variety of talks, workshops, and training sessions on cybersecurity and hacking topics. Cloud security is a top focus area at these events, with talks and activities centered around supply chain security, API security, IAM, and cloud security research. The industry is shifting towards more complex and mature cybersecurity issues, and there's a need for hands-on training in cloud security to keep pace with the rapid changes. The community is urging itself to recognize its influence and work together to solve these challenges, as Chris Krebbs aptly put it. With the rise of cloud security research and databases for repositories, there's an increased focus on identifying vulnerabilities and addressing gaps in software supply chain, IAM, and CSP defaults. The industry is also moving towards more automation and hands-on training in cloud security to stay ahead of threats.
