Simplifying Cybersecurity Complexity
Hear the Voices of Top IT Security ExpertsFinding a common theme from the Black Hat USA conference isn't easy. After all, cybersecurity is complex and involves a wide range of technologies and business processes, which were reflected in the various sessions at the security event.
Still, a few themes - simplifying complexity and developing security solutions as a community - emerged from the sessions attended and interviews conducted with some of the industry's top cybersecurity minds. They include:

- Tony Sager of the Council on Cybersecurity, on organizations collaborating on developing cybersecurity solutions;
- Jason Healey of the Atlantic Council, on getting shareholders to pressure boards to adopt cybersecurity measures; and
