The Black Hat security conferences bring together many of the most knowledgeable cybersecurity professionals in the world. The 2012 U.S. event was held July 21-26 at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas.

The two biggest draws are the famous Black Hat briefings — presentations and workshops educating attendees on the latest threats and security developments — and detailed training sessions that hone students’ IT skills.
