Explore the evolving cybersecurity landscape in this keynote presentation from Black Hat USA 2025, where Nicole Perlroth examines how modern cyber threats have fundamentally transformed beyond traditional attack vectors. Discover how the attack surface now encompasses people, institutions, and truth itself, as threats have become quieter, more modular, and increasingly autonomous. Learn about the shift from conventional malware to "living off the land" techniques, the evolution of ransomware into subscription-based services, and how artificial intelligence is not only amplifying attacks but actively distorting reality. Examine how previously significant advanced persistent threats like Stuxnet, Shamoon, NotPetya, Cloudhopper, SolarWinds, and Volt Typhoon may pale in comparison to emerging threats. Understand the critical need to establish red lines, protect essential assets, and recognize that courage rather than code will ultimately determine our cybersecurity future. Gain insights from Perlroth's extensive experience as a bestselling author, former New York Times cybersecurity reporter, founder of Silver Buckshot cyber moonshot fund, and Venture Partner at Ballistic Ventures as she delivers a compelling call to action for the cybersecurity community.
