Two premiere security conferences — Black Hat and DefCon — run back-to-back in Las Vegas this week. Security B-Sides is a much smaller but more populist conference where attendees can directly engage speakers rather than be talked to from the lectern. Black Hat’s corporate feel stems from a set of special events ranging from an awards show (thewnies) to the Cloud Security Alliance (Black Hat Arsenal) Some of these events are corporate sponsored and some are grassroots, but all contribute to making Las Vegas the place to be.”]
