Security Operations Under Fire Inside Black Hat's NOC
Palo Alto Networks, Tuesday, September 9th, 2025
Black Hat stands as one of the world's most challenging cybersecurity events, where researchers unveil zero-day exploits, trainers demonstrate attack techniques and thousands of security professionals gather to push the boundaries of what's possible.
The conference demands a unique approach to network security, one that must simultaneously protect critical infrastructure while allowing controlled chaos to unfold in training environments.
In a recent episode of Threat Vector, the cybersecurity podcast of Palo Alto Networks, our host David Moulton, senior director of thought leadership for Unit 42, spoke with two engineers who live this reality. Jason Reverri, manager of technical product engineering at Cortex, brings years of experience bridging product development with frontline defense.
