  • This week in cybersecurity from the editors at Cybercrime Magazine

    Sausalito, Calif. – Aug. 7, 2026

    Watch at Cybercrime.TV

    The premier Cybersecurity event of the year, Black Hat USA 2026 in Las Vegas, ended yesterday and the Cybercrime Magazine media team is on their way home.

    A quick recap of who we met in Vegas before putting out our post-Black Hat media over the next month or so:

    — It was one of the best convos at Black Hat and you’ll have to wait a little while. But we promise something very special is coming. Thanks Joe Levy, CEO at Sophos and Wendy Nather, Senior Research Initiatives Director at 1Password, for spending time with us.

    — Keyfactor’s Mission: Securely connect the world—humans, machines, and AI—with cryptographic security. Cybercrime Magazine sat down with Ted Shorter, CTO, Keyfactor and learned why this company is trusted by 40 percent of the Fortune 100.

    — Leapfrog software supply chain security, deliver trusted software in the AI era. Paul Davis, Field CISO at JFrog explained it to us. If you want to manage, secure, and govern your AI and software assets from one platform, then it’s possible.

    — You read about it in The Wall Street Journal this week. We saw it in person at Black Hat. Horizon3.ai has a message that we all need to wrap our heads around: “Go hack yourself. Before they do. Fight AI with AI.” CEO Snehal Antani and his team showed us what you need to safely and autonomously hack your production environment, fix what matters most, verify instantly, and repeat continuously. It’s security you can prove.

    — Cybersecurity is a team sport and Binary Defense is one of the best in our industry. We caught up with Founder & CEO David Kennedy and crew at Black Hat. These are some very serious cyber defenders. Binary Defense pairs U.S.-based operators with NightBeacon — AI that turns raw alerts into evidence-backed investigations you can audit down to the field. Let their experts run it for you, or run it yourself.

    — One of the world’s top penetration testing experts was spotted at Black Hat. Seemant Sehgal, founder & CEO at BreachLock, the only offensive security provider combining continuous ASM, autonomous pentesting, CREST-certified pentesting, and closed-loop remediation in a single workflow met with Cybercrime Magazine after we waited behind CISOs who couldn’t get enough of it.



    — Cybercrime Magazine met with Levi Gundert, Chief Security & Intelligence Officer at Recorded Future in their Business Hall booth with Mastercard. We explored how AI is reshaping cyber defense, and heard from cybersecurity industry leaders on tackling today’s toughest threat challenges. From AI-powered vulnerability prioritization to machine-speed detection, Recorded Future is bringing actionable insights for security teams on the front lines.

    — Laura Stebbing, VP, Content at Black Hat, and Suzy Pallett, President at Black Hat, sat down with Amanda Glassner, Deputy Editor at Cybercrime Magazine. It was exciting for us to be partners with the world’s premier cybersecurity event in the U.S., and we’ll be doing it again later this year at Black Hat Europe in London.

    — Call it a lucky day! Clover Security was at Black Hat and we meet them in the Business Hall. Cybercrime Magazine caught up with their founder & CEO Alon Kollmann 🍀. Clover enables both humans and AI to build secure-by-design software, at scale, without slowing down innovation.

    — Poof! All your cybersecurity problems have vanished! Well, almost all of them. VanishID is on a mission to protect the enterprise from cyberattacks that revolve around using personal information of executives, key employees, and their families. Cybercrime Magazine spoke to Matt Polak, CEO at VanishID at Black Hat and learned about AI that neutralizes the external identity attack surface.

    — This company is a keeper! Trusted by millions of individuals and thousands of organizations, Keeper Security, Inc. is the leader for best-in-class password management, secrets management, privileged access, secure remote access and encrypted messaging. Cybercrime Magazine caught up with Craig Lurey, CTO, Co-Founder at Keeper in the Black Hat Business Hall.

    — Exaforce is on a mission to 10x improve the productivity and efficacy of security and operations teams using their transformative multi-model AI engine. AI gave attackers machine scale. Now you have the advantage. Marco Rodrigues, Co-Founder, Customer Engineering & Solutions at Exaforce told Cybercrime Magazine their story when we were with him at Black Hat.

    — If you don’t know Benny Czarny, Founder & CEO at OPSWAT, then you don’t know cybersecurity. But most CISOs tell us they follow him. Cybercrime Magazine met with Benny at Black Hat. Read his great book “Cybersecurity Upside Down” and you’ll definitely rethink your cybersecurity strategy. We did!

    Keep an eye on the award-winning Cybercrime Magazine YouTube Channel for new videos featuring these companies and others.
