Black Hat 2013: Is an IT Security Specialist's Work Ever Done?

With an ever-evolving cybersecurity landscape, are we any closer to winning the war against cybercrime?

Earlier this year, Government Technology attended the Black Hat 2013 Conference, which ran from July 27 to August 1 in Las Vegas. We asked cybersecurity professionals for their opinions on some of today’s most pressing security issues.

Technology changes so rapidly that there will always be a new threat, and a new attack vector for criminals to target, which means that IT security professionals will always have something to protect. In the final installment of our Black Hat 2013 video series, they shared their thoughts with Government Technology on the never-ending fight against cybercrime.
