Black Hat 2023

If there’s one takeaway from 2023 so far in the cybersecurity sphere, it’s that the cyberthreat landscape remains as dynamic as ever. Traditional ransomware has declined in popularity, according to a number of threat reports, while identity-based cyberattacks and data extortion have surged.

In short, hackers continue to change things up.

But as the threat landscape evolves, so do the cybersecurity products that defenders rely upon. This week in Las Vegas, top cybersecurity vendors are among those on hand for the Black Hat USA 2023 conference, and many are unveiling new products and services aimed at keeping up with—or ideally, ahead of—the changing threats. New security tools and service offerings from companies including CrowdStrike, SentinelOne and Tenable are among those unveiled this week so far. The product announcements at Black Hat 2023 have also included notable offerings from several up-and-coming cybersecurity startups—one of which emerged from stealth Wednesday.

The new security products unveiled at Black Hat span categories including vulnerability management, application security, extended detection and response (XDR), threat hunting and Security Operations Center (SOC) automation. For several of the announcements, utilizing generative AI technologies is a major emphasis—underscoring the fact that Large Language Models and ChatGPT-like functionality remain a key theme at Black Hat, as it was at the RSA Conference in April.

Black Hat 2023 takes place this week through Thursday, Aug. 10.
