Top-notch speakers will deliver to the conference's core audience of
IT & network security experts, consultants and administrators the
newest developments on the vital security issues facing organizations
using large networks with a mix of operating systems.
"Black Hat USA 2002 will be unlike any other security conference in
the world- we will be showcasing the work of over 45 of the most
knowledgeable and renown security professionals, hosting a gala
reception with an unrivaled book signing event that will run
concurrent with the never-before-seen Hacker Court," says Jeff Moss,
