The week of October 26 to November 1 · 1 event in Washington DC · Read online

The week in Washington centers on MITRE ATT&CKcon 7.0, which starts Tuesday and is the one I would show up for, defenders and threat intelligence analysts sharing how they apply ATT&CK in practice. It is the rare conference where nearly every talk is something you can take back to your team the next morning.

Plan ahead for a busy start to November, with the SANS AI Cybersecurity Summit on November 2 and Claroty's Nexus conference on November 3.
