SentinelOne announced the keynote lineup for LABScon 2025, a premier cybersecurity research conference hosted by SentinelLABS, set for September 17-20, 2025, at the Omni Scottsdale Resort & Spa in Scottsdale, Arizona. The event will feature cutting-edge research on cyber threats, vulnerabilities, and innovative tools, headlined by Lindsay Freeman, Thomas Rid, and Mei Danowski, alongside experts from Sophos, ESET, and others.
Additional speakers from SentinelLABS, Sophos, ESET, Recorded Future, Margin Research, and Check Point will cover nation-state threats, high-profile ransomware, LLM malware, and private-sector offensive operations. The event, in its fourth year, fosters collaboration through keynotes, deep-dive sessions, and networking, addressing the 20% annual rise in cyber threats reported in 2025.
LABScon 2025, organized by SentinelLABS, unites global cybersecurity experts to share insights on malware, exploits, and APTs. “SentinelLABS is an open venue for reliable findings,” per the announcement, emphasizing no-sales-pitch research. Sponsors include Cisco Talos, Validin, and Binarly, reflecting strong industry support. With 68% of organizations facing advanced threats, per recent data, LABScon’s focus on real-time research is critical.
While LABScon’s invite-only format ensures high-caliber discussions, it may limit broader access compared to open conferences like Black Hat. SentinelOne’s AI-native platform, built on a unified Data Lake, is robust, but competitors like CrowdStrike and Palo Alto Networks could challenge its market lead if they accelerate threat intelligence integrations. The focus on nation-state threats and ransomware aligns with the 30% surge in such attacks in 2025.
SentinelLABS, the research arm of SentinelOne, focuses on uncovering vulnerabilities, attack techniques, and threat actors, sharing insights openly with defenders. SentinelOne (NYSE: S), a leader in AI-native cybersecurity, serves Fortune 10 and Global 2000 clients with its Singularity Platform, ensuring real-time threat detection and response.
