ABOUT THE EVENING
Where the real conversations happen
Black Hat is where the industry gathers, but the most valuable conversations rarely happen on the show floor. Join Anthropic and a select group of OT and critical infrastructure security leaders for an intimate dinner hosted by Frenos and Claroty.
The focus is AI and OT cyber. What AI means for attackers targeting industrial environments, how defenders are actually using it, and what it takes to go from visibility and validated security. Expect Zuma’s acclaimed contemporary Japanese cuisine, curated beverages, and a room full of people worth knowing. Seats are limited and invitations are by request only. Please note that Zuma has a dress code that encourages upscale and fashionable attire. Casual or revealing clothing, athletic wear, or flip-flops are not permitted.
