🎯 FINAL POST FROM THE FLOOR: #BlackHatUSA 2025 Coverage!
Access Roulette: How to Stop Betting Your Security on Standing Privileges
This wraps up our on-location content from Las Vegas!
Next week we'll reconnect with our main event sponsors— BLACKCLOAK, Dropzone AI, Stellar Cyber, and Akamai Technologies—to bring you their post-event insights and feedback. Of course ThreatLocker's recap was already captured on the floor and published earlier today. Plus, watch for our closing reflection articles from me Marco Ciappelli and Sean Martin, CISSP!
Our final floor conversation comes thanks to our friends at Apono 🙏
Modern enterprises are gambling with security every day. Static permissions, manual approvals, and periodic audits create "privilege creep" that turns every over-privileged account into a potential breach waiting to happen.
At #BlackHat USA 2025, Ofir Stein from #Apono reveals how to break this dangerous cycle.
The stakes keep rising:
• Non-human identities (service accounts, #APIs, #AIagents) retain high-level privileges long after tasks complete
• Organizations discover risks during audits but lack scalable remediation
• #Business teams need rapid access while security teams battle expanding #attacksurfacesApono's Zero Standing Privilege model:
• Removes ALL permanent access by default
• Grants access dynamically based on business context
• Automatically revokes permissions when tasks complete
• Works for both human AND non-human identities
• Integrates with existing #identity providers—no rip and replaceKey capabilities:
• Context-based policy management aligned with business objectives
• Continuous discovery of identities, privileges
• Automated remediation of unnecessary privileges
• Real-time anomaly detection feeding #SOC workflows
• Scalable across centralized and decentralized environmentsThe result?
Engineers gain control over their access (building trust), security teams maintain tight governance, and organizations can finally stop betting their security on standing privileges.📺 Watch the video: https://youtu.be/ciBsH84PVQU

This is an event recap from the expo floor with our friends at ThreatLocker 🙏
#ThreatLocker Unveils Configuration Defense & Achieves #FedRAMP Status at #BlackHat2025
#Zerotrust evolved from theory to practical business solution at Black Hat 2025, as Kieran Human from ThreatLocker revealed game-changing announcements that address real-world security challenges.
The standout:
Defense Against Configuration (#DAC)—a monitoring tool that solves a critical zero trust gap. Organizations invest heavily in security but often leave systems vulnerable through poor configuration management. DAC changes this by:
• Continuously monitoring configurations and alerting to potential issues
• Mapping findings to compliance frameworks including Essential 8
• Providing weekly executive reports to ensure oversight
• Preventing the "overly permissive rules" that compromise securityThreatLocker's "denied by default, allowed by exception" approach fundamentally differs from traditional EDR solutions. With 10,000+ built-in application profiles and learning mode capabilities, deployment no longer means business disruption.
Major milestone:
FedRAMP certification opens government sector opportunities, answering strong customer demand from highly regulated environments that previously couldn't adopt their zero trust capabilities.Real impact:
One customer reported preventing THREE breaches after implementing ThreatLocker's solution—proving that properly implemented zero trust delivers measurable security improvements.The key insight? Security must enable business, not hinder it. ThreatLocker's least privilege implementation focuses on meeting business requirements with minimal necessary permissions—protecting assets without hampering productivity.

How to Automate #Cybersecurity Operations Without Coding, Crying, or Calling IT at 2 A.M.
We're back in the office and excited to start sharing all the conversations we captured on location in Las Vegas with our amazing sponsors and editorial coverage!

We're delighted to share this game-changing Brand Story conversation thanks to our friends at BlinkOps 🙏
Traditional #SOAR platforms promise automation but deliver complexity—requiring extensive scripting, specialized skills, and weeks to implement new workflows. At #BlackHat2025, Mike Wayne from #BlinkOps reveals a better way.
The breakthrough: Micro agents instead of monolithic #AI. BlinkOps enables you to build small, focused #AI entities designed for specific tasks—minimizing hallucination risks while maximizing control and precision.
What makes this different:
• Describe automation goals in plain language—the system generates working automations
• Low-code/no-code accessibility lets citizen developers across HR, finance, and security build automations
• Smaller context windows = fewer AI mistakes and more predictable outcomes • Deploy as #SaaS, hybrid, or in #FedRAMP #GovCloud environments
Real-world results that matter:
• One customer saved $1.8M in 30 days automating endpoint deployments
• A triage agent processed 400 SOC alerts in 8 days with zero human intervention
• Reduced MTTR through agent-embedded workflows
• Automation extends beyond security into HR, finance, and operationsThe message is clear: Instead of replacing humans, these micro agents work alongside them—taking on repetitive tasks so your team can focus on strategic initiatives. Just blink it!

How #AI Can Help Eliminate Alert Fatigue in #Cybersecurity
Security teams drowning in alerts finally have a lifeline that doesn't compromise their data sovereignty. At #BlackHatUSA 2025, #Crogl CEO monzy merza revealed how they're solving one of cybersecurity's most persistent challenges.
The harsh reality: Analysts routinely close hundreds of alerts with a single click—not from laziness, but from sheer necessity. As Merza notes, "When you look at the history of #breaches, the signal was there. And somebody ignored it."
Traditional approaches fail because they expect analysts to become "unicorns"—experts in multiple platforms while remembering complex query languages. Crogl's solution fundamentally reimagines this relationship between human intuition and #machineautomation.
Key innovations:
• Semantic knowledge graphs that map relationships across your entire security ecosystem
• Automated investigations using established kill chain methodologies
• Natural language processing that converts descriptions into executable security processes
• Privacy-first architecture that runs air-gapped with no internet dependencies • Response times reduced from weeks to minutes for complex threat huntingThe result?
#Analysts focus on strategic #threathunting while AI handles routine investigations—all without moving, duplicating, or exposing your data.📺 Watch the video: https://youtu.be/0GqPtPXD2ik
