Innovating at Palo Alto Networks. Views are my own
It was another brilliant week at Black Hat, this time the Europe event in London. More amazing execution, and fantastic memories made!

It takes an incredible team to keep the party going... let's do it all again in Asia in Spring 2026 🖤

Another great Black Hat NOC, rocked by Palo Alto Networks. Thanks to the NOC Management Team for having us again and for all the support and guidance. Can't wait for the next event...

Life in the Black Hat NOC, USA 2025, compressed into less than 1 minute...

Thank you to Black Hat for once again choosing to partner with Palo Alto Networks for the NOC at the Asia 2025 conference in Singapore 🖤

It was awesome to see everyone again, build an entire security-focused infrastructure in just over a day, and follow up with a smooth operation for the week.

The birth, life, and death of an ephemeral NOC/SOC for Black Hat Asia 2025!

Thanks so much to all the Black Hat leads and the other partners for the huge collaborative effort required to keep making this happen so relatively smoothly, event after event 🤘

If at first you don't succeed.... 😉

Birth, life, and teardown of an enterprise-grade NOC/SOC.

It's awesome to be a part of the multi-vendor team delivering this, and my extra fun on the side is the time lapses ;-)

Thank you @blackhatevents.bsky.social for once again choosing to partner with @paloaltontwks.bsky.social for the Network Operations Centre at the Europe conference🖤

This time last week, with Jonathan Smith (Arista), Aditya Raghavan (Cisco), Mark Overholser (Corelight), chatting about the Black Hat NOC infrastructure, and being silly for photo opps...

Partnership. Except for real, not a (sorry marketeers) press-release level depth of partnership.

It's always great that Palo Alto Networks gets to work with Black Hat's other chosen partners Cisco, Arista Networks and Corelight to deliver the event infrastructure. Real-life integrations, deployed 🤘

You spend 7 days (solid) somewhere, then it disappears, and you go home!

It was an amazing week at Black Hat Europe 2024 with all our friends and partners ♥️
