Black Hat USA 2026: Innovations in Vulnerabilities and Exploitation

From an operational perspective, Black Hat stands out for its technical briefings that detail zero-day exploits, aligned with standards such as OWASP for secure software development. For example, previous sessions have covered supply chain attack mitigation, a risk that, according to reports from the MITRE ATT&CK Framework, affects 60% of corporate breaches. In 2026, a focus on quantum-resistant cryptography is expected, preparing organizations for post-quantum threats using protocols such as lattice-based encryption. Benefits include networking with experts from agencies like the NSA and the opportunity to validate firewall configurations through hands-on workshops.
