Reflections from Black Hat USA 2025
· 4 min read
Earlier last month, I had the opportunity to attend Black Hat USA 2025 and DefCon 2025 in Las Vegas.
This trip was very special for me—not only was it my first time experiencing these world-class events in person, but it was also one of the most rewarding journeys in my cybersecurity career.
A special thanks goes to my friend who generously sponsored my Black Hat ticket. Without that support, I would not have been able to attend.
Background
For those unfamiliar, Black Hat is one of the world’s leading cybersecurity conferences, held annually in Las Vegas.
It’s followed by DefCon, the world’s largest hacker gathering, known for its open and collaborative spirit.
