I hope this message finds you well. I am excited about Hacker Summer Camp in Las Vegas next week. If you're unfamiliar with the term Hacker Summer Camp, it's because it's a name given to the numerous hacker and cybersecurity conferences that take place during that time. The number of conferences has grown over the years, and includes Black Hat, BSides Las Vegas, SquadCon, Diana Initiative, and DEFCON. SquadCon is celebrating its third year and is one of my favorite conferences. Tennisha Martin and the Black Girls Hack organzation has build a fantastic community focused event. I highly recommend checking out SquadCon if you're attending Hacker Summer Camp next week. If you are going to Vegas, let’s meet up!

Thank you, ThreatLocker

A big thank you to ThreatLocker for sponsoring season one of Simply Offensive. I interviewed ThreatLocker, Chief Product Officer, Rob Allen, and they are offering listeners a 30-day eval of ThreatLocker: https://www.threatlocker.com/simplyoffensive
