What were the main themes at BlackHat USA 2024? With respect to Cloud Security, maybe with a sprinkle of AI Security. Our team was on the ground at BlackHat and DefCon32 this year, we heard many talks and panels, spoke to many practitioner, leaders and CISOs and had the pleasure of recording some great interviews (coming soon!). This conversation is a distillation of everything we heard and the themes we saw.
