Cisco has been a steadfast partner of the Black Hat Network Operations Center (NOC) for a decade, marking its tenth anniversary of providing security solutions to the conference. The NOC, built in Las Vegas in just five days, is designed to ensure continuous network stability, seamless security, comprehensive visibility, and automation.

Cisco's role has evolved significantly since its initial partnership in 2016, when it began offering automated malware analysis through Threat Grid. Over the years, Cisco has expanded its offerings to meet the evolving demands of the Black Hat conference. The company now supports a range of security solutions, including Breach Protection Suite, User Protection Suite, and Cloud Protection Suite.

The NOC team, composed of diverse technologies and organizations, is dedicated to ongoing innovation and seamless integration. Cisco's contributions to the NOC include the deployment of Splunk Attack Analyzer with Cisco Secure Malware Analytics, Cisco Umbrella for DNS visibility, Cisco Secure Access for Zero Trust Architecture, and Cisco Duo for Single Sign-On. Additionally, Cisco Security Connector provides iOS device security and visibility managed with Meraki Systems Manager.

Cisco's integration with third-party partners, such as Palo Alto Networks and Corelight, has further enhanced the NOC's capabilities. The company has also worked with Endace to enrich Cisco XDR incidents with full packet captures, providing analysts with more detailed investigation tools.

The NOC's focus on innovation is evident in its collaboration with partners like Jamf for Mobile Device Management. Jamf Pro has assumed the mantle of MDM provider for Black Hat Europe, starting in 2025. The partnership has resulted in the management and security of thousands of iOS devices, enhancing the overall security posture of the conference.

Cisco's role in the Black Hat NOC is a testament to its commitment to security innovation and its ability to meet the evolving demands of cybersecurity events. The company's contributions have not only improved the security of the Black Hat conference but also demonstrated the power of its security solutions in real-world scenarios.
