Live From London: Next-Gen Cybersecurity Takes Stage at Black Hat Europe

We stand on the brink of a new year, and true to form, contributors to Black Hat Europe 2022 took the opportunity to peer out on the horizon to see what might be emerging to keep security practitioners up at night — and what sorts of defensive innovations we might be in for.

At an event in London last week that saw record in-person attendance for the post-pandemic era, a slate of industry veterans and up-and-coming security researchers took to the stage to deliver briefings that covered the future-think waterfront.

Topics ranged from how to break some really cool stuff (like a Volkswagen EV), to manipulating billion-dollar NFTs and performing "social-engineering pen testing" — and much, much in-between.

In case you missed the show, Dark Reading has compiled this slideshow of some of the top talks at this year's Black Hat Europe conference. And don't forget, all of the sessions are now available on-demand, too.
