Black Hat 2025 was more than just panels and briefings; it was a full-on experience for the HACKERverse® team. Our CEOs, Mariana Padilla and Craig Ellrod, enjoyed an unstoppable schedule that blended serious cyber discussions with some of the best networking events in the industry.
Day One kicked off with Security BSides Las Vegas, where the energy was as incredible as ever. Between sessions, we connected with some of our favorite cyber peers and met plenty of new ones.
By nightfall, the schedule was packed, from the Aspiron Search party to the Hacker in Heels salon hosted by Stacey Champagne, then straight to Founder Oasis with Mike Privette. And because no Vegas night is complete without a twist, the evening wrapped with a putt-putt showdown at Swingers Golf alongside Torq and GuidePoint Security.
Day Two kept the momentum going. Between time on the Black Hat conference floor and multiple parties on the calendar, Lockstep, VulnCheck, and the Optiv pool party, there were countless opportunities to build connections, talk shop, and soak up the latest trends shaping cybersecurity.
For the HACKERverse®, events like Black Hat are about more than staying on top of emerging threats. They’re about building the relationships that make cybersecurity stronger, more collaborative, and more innovative.
Whether it was swapping insights over coffee, diving into real-world attack scenarios, or sharing a laugh poolside, every moment contributed to the bigger mission: making cybersecurity smarter, faster, and more effective for everyone.
See you next year, Black Hat, we’ll be bringing the pink again.
