ABSTRACT
Black Hat USA 2019 provided 20,200+ attendees with an opportunity to dive into training, try their hand at white hat activities, attend briefings, listen to the keynote and attend a large variety of sponsored parties. Artificial intelligence-based security tools have arrived and may foreshadow the future state of cyber warfare. Solutions for data management and related actions focused on security operations centers were displayed. White hat tools to self-test Windows 10 against process injection and self-protecting data software development kits were announced, as were vulnerabilities in common consumer products. Finally, the gaping privacy loopholes created by GDPR were also presented.
