Semperis at Black Hat USA 2026

Semperis, a leader in identity-driven cyber resilience and crisis management, recently announced its participation at Black Hat USA 2026, scheduled for August 4-6 at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas. This event highlights the company's innovative approach to enhancing organizational security in an increasingly complex digital landscape.

One of the standout events during this week is the world premiere of Midnight in the War Room, a trailblazing documentary shedding light on the hidden narratives of Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) who confront the multifaceted challenges of cyber warfare. This film provides an in-depth look at the heroism, resilience, and significant human costs associated with cyber conflicts. Audiences will hear firsthand from renowned cybersecurity experts and national security leaders, such as Chris Inglis, the first U.S. National Cyber Director, and General (Ret.) David Petraeus, former CIA Director, among many others.

Chris Inglis expressed his enthusiasm for the project, stating, “The greatest threat we face isn’t just the sophistication of nation-state cyber-attacks. It's complacency. Resilience is forged when we refuse to accept today's defenses as enough and prepare for the battles that lie ahead.” Such sentiments underscore the urgent need for heightened awareness and proactive measures in cybersecurity.
