Cisco Talos at Black Hat 2025: Briefings, booth talks and what to expect
Summary: Cisco Talos will present at Black Hat 2025 across Wednesday and Thursday, including 15-minute booth talks and conference sessions on incident response planning, joint Talos-Splunk detection work, generative AI in the threat landscape, and ReVault, a vulnerability in a widely used embedded security chip that lets a low-privilege user extract sensitive data, gain firmware-level persistence, and compromise the host system. Speakers include Joe Marshall, Jose Hernandez, Nick Biasini, Philippe Laulheret, and a women-in-cybersecurity panel with Chi-en (Ashley) Shen, Valentina Palmiotti, Natalie Silvanovich, and Vandana Verma.
What's compelling: ReVault is described as affecting a widely used embedded security chip, where a low-privilege user can gain firmware-level persistence and compromise the host - persistence at that layer is what survives the reimage most teams treat as their reset button.
