From August 1–6 in Mandalay Bay, Las Vegas, WWT returns to Black Hat with a renewed focus on what matters most to security leaders: AI as both a defense tool and a growing attack vector, resilience, identity and governance. While we won't be on the conference floor this year, we're bringing the conversation to S Bar — hosting a private buyout for the week, alongside three signature events designed to connect cybersecurity leaders, partners and WWT experts. Expect candid conversations, sharp insights and plenty of opportunities to connect. We can't wait to see you there.

WWT is proud to be the Welcome Reception Sponsor at the 2026 CISO Summit! Join us for an exclusive networking event on Monday, August 3 from 5-7pm and enjoy wine tasting with appetizer pairings.

Be sure to join the CISO Summit panel session, The CVE Reckoning

The CVE Reckoning: Governance, Trust, and the Future of Global Vulnerability Coordination
Tuesday, August 4 | 9:35–10:15 AM · Four Seasons Ballroom, Level 2 · CISO Summit Track

The near-lapse of MITRE's funding for the CVE program exposed a hard truth: some of cybersecurity's most critical infrastructure rests on fragile governance. This panel brings together leaders from government, vulnerability disclosure and industry to examine what the CISA–MITRE–CVE episode revealed about trust, sustainability and systemic risk — and what it means for CISOs navigating dependency and executive responsibility in a globally interdependent security ecosystem.

WWT's Kate Kuehn, Area Vice President of Global Cyber Advocacy, joins Robert Hansen (CTO, Root Evidence), Michael Daniel (President & CEO, Cyber Threat Alliance) and Katie Moussouris (Founder and CEO, Luta Security).

World Wide Technology (WWT) is launching The Lab — a new innovation-focused experience that brings emerging cybersecurity technology, industry thought leadership, and partner innovation together under one roof. Ten emerging innovation companies with genuinely new technology will each host a hands-on kiosk, surrounded by a central stage featuring fireside chats with founders and industry experts, live programming on the future of cybersecurity, and a daily innovation competition.

The Lab gives attendees a place to engage directly with innovators, explore new technologies addressing today's toughest cyber challenges, and gain firsthand insight into where the market is heading — all in one collaborative environment designed to smash the silos between great ideas.
