With a kinetic war ravaging cities and towns in Ukraine, the specter of cyberwar has taken a back seat. In this talk, Zetter will argue that attacks like Colonial Pipeline were foreseeable, and that the future’s attacks will be no different. Despite all of the changes in cybersecurity since Stuxnet was discovered, Zetter argues that nothing has really changed: continuous attacks on CI come as a surprise when the community should have seen these attacks coming. Zetter’s talk will focus on cyberattacks on critical infrastructure (CI) dating back to Stuxnet in 2010. She is the author of Countdown to Zero Day, the definitive account of the creation of the Stuxnet malware, which was deployed against Iran. Zetter has covered cybersecurity and national security since 1999, writing for WIRED, Politico, PC World and other publications.

To help you plan your itinerary, we’ve compiled the Black Hat sessions we’re eager to attend, broken down by category. And with two years of pent up cybersecurity research and discoveries, there’s lots to look forward to. Continued advancements in the industry, plus non-stop cybercriminal activity have left the community with much to discuss as we reflect on the events that have unfolded since the start of the pandemic (think SolarWinds, Colonial Pipeline, and Log4j … just to name a few).Īfter two years of cancellations and a halting return, Black Hat USA 2022 is set to return to Las Vegas next week in something close to its former glory.
