Most of us struggle every day in our IT departments just to "keep the lights on". It seems that merely rolling out new devices, services, features, infrastructure and ensuring your customers are happy should be quite enough in a days work. The security newsfeeds, vulnerability alerts, and hacking reports all fly by at a dizzying speed. It is all too much to worry about, right? Shouldn't you just wait for the vendors and the rest of the industry to "just take care of it"? Surely it won't affect us; if it were only that simple. You are the industry, and you are the affected. Please join Travis Carelock of Black Hat as he presents an in-depth look at the impact that 0-day exploits and cutting-edge research have on today's technology – as presented at the Black Hat conference series. In addition Mr. Carelock will give a preview of topics to be covered at the upcoming Black Hat Abu Dhabi conference.
