Addressing Critical Regional Threats

The 2026 program directly confronts two of the most pressing cybersecurity challenges in the Asia-Pacific: AI-powered threats and supply chain vulnerabilities. Exclusive research will demonstrate how generative AI is being weaponized by adversaries while presenting innovative defense strategies. Briefings will also expose vulnerabilities in critical supply chains impacting key regional industries such as manufacturing, logistics, and technology.

Breakthrough Briefings: Redefining Defense Strategies

On April 23 and 24, Briefings will feature world-renowned researchers unveiling critical vulnerabilities and defense methodologies. Key sessions include practical attacks against smartphone Boot ROMs demonstrating secure boot bypasses across manufacturers, four zero-days in Windows Admin Center enabling cross-tenant Azure compromises, and the “RebirthDay” attack reviving DNS cache poisoning via the Birthday Paradox, affecting major providers and hundreds of thousands of servers.

Hands-On Trainings: Building Cyber Resilience

From April 21–24, intensive Trainings led by top practitioners will cover advanced skills in malware reverse engineering, AI red teaming across LLMs, agents, and multimodal systems, and practical GenAI workflows for cyber threat intelligence using RAG, multi-agent systems, and fine-tuning.

Black Hat Arsenal: Innovation in Action

The Arsenal on April 23–24 will showcase live open-source tool demonstrations, including QuantumStrand for rapid malware indicator filtering, vet for proactive supply chain security in AI SDLC environments, and Prowler Open Cloud Security v6.0 for continuous monitoring and compliance audits across major frameworks.
