The U.S. Department of Commerce is leading a new initiative to ‘identify and promote action by appropriate stakeholders’ to address the evolving threats from distributed, automated attacks. Botnets have evolved to yet again pose a real threat to stability and resilience of the Internet ecosystem. Particularly following the growth of IoT devices around the world, many of our traditional approaches to dealing with distributed, automated attacks no longer protect our systems and networks.

Serious novel solutions won’t come from one part of the ecosystem, or government regulation. We need new ideas for collaboration between different stakeholders to dramatically reduce the threats from distributed, automated attacks.

During this Black Hat meeting, join the EFF, other security researchers, industry experts, and Department of Commerce’s Allan Friedman to hear about this process, and share your ideas and feedback on how to understand the current state of botnets, and what we can do.

Thanks to Venable’s Coalition for Cybersecurity Policy and Law for generously sponsoring the room and equipment for this meeting.
