About the event
The Black Hat franchise's Middle East and Africa edition, run in Riyadh with SAFCSP.
Black Hat MEA is the technical counterweight to GISEC: research-led, practitioner-heavy, and considerably less commercial. It runs the largest capture-the-flag competition of its kind. If GISEC is where security is procured, this is where the people doing the work turn up - which matters for hiring as much as for intelligence.
What you’ll find
- Technical briefings and security research disclosure
- A large-scale capture-the-flag competition
- Hands-on training courses
- An investment and startup programme alongside the technical track
