BlackHat Europe 2025: New President Suzy Pallett on Community, Collaboration, and What Comes Next
I had the chance to speak with Suzy Pallett as she wrapped up her first #BlackHatEurope as the brand's new President. The event saw attendance grow more than 25 percent over last year.
Her perspective on #cybersecurity stands out. She called it "collaboration unlike any other industry I've ever been close to." In a world where knowledge is usually guarded, here it gets shared freely. Because the threats affect everyone, and defending together just makes sense.
The keynotes this year pushed some uncomfortable questions. Is ransomware actually stoppable? Are our compliance checklists creating vulnerabilities instead of preventing them? These are the conversations that matter—not just what tool to buy, but how we think about the problems in the first place.
And when I asked about her priorities for the year ahead, she kept coming back to the same word: community. Listening. Building a platform that belongs to the people who use it.
Events like this remind us why this industry, for all its stress and complexity, still feels different.
The cat-and-mouse game continues, but at least we're running together.

🎙️ These Aren’t Soft Skills — They’re Human Skills
A post–Infosecurity Europe 2025 conversation with Rob Black and Anthony D'Alton

Yes, Infosecurity Europe 2025 is behind us, but the most important conversations are still unfolding — like this one.

I (Marco Ciappelli) reconnected with Rob Black (yeah, I kicked Sean Martin, CISSP out again… temporarily 😄) and welcomed Anthony D’Alton to dive into something we all know is important but rarely define properly: so-called soft skills — or as we prefer to call them… human skills.

From communication and trust to team resilience and real-world training, this conversation is a practical look at what truly makes cybersecurity teams work — and why these “intangibles” aren’t soft at all.
