Network security remains one of the most active and contested areas of the security landscape, spanning cloud networks, enterprise infrastructure, identity-aware access, routing, detection, resilience, and the operational realities of defending complex environments.

In this audience-driven session, members of the Black Hat USA Network Security Review Board will discuss the themes, questions, and research directions that stood out during this year’s review cycle. The conversation may cover emerging attack surfaces, defensive blind spots, infrastructure risk, operational tradeoffs, and where network security practice appears to be moving next.

Join Anant Shrivastava, Sherri Davidoff, and Enno Rey for a candid 30-minute discussion shaped by the questions in the room. Bring your network security questions, field observations, and uncomfortable edge cases.
