Worked in tech for 10+ years as a Systems Administrator and now DevOps for startups and established companies. Recently took a few years off to help family but eager to get back. My last role I was the sole DevOps where I transformed the whole stack from static resources to containerized development lifecycle and built a team around IT and development resources. I am capable to do anything I put my mind to.

Worked in tech for 10+ years as a Systems Administrator and now DevOps for startups and established companies. Recently took a few years off to help aging family but eager to get back to work work to solve problems.

My last role I was the sole DevOps where I transformed the whole stack from static resources to containerized development lifecycle and built a team around IT and development resources. I am capable to do anything I put my mind to.

My comment was around the wording as advertised. It will also be my 11th DEF CON next year, never been to Blackhat. We should grab a beer.

I have personally worried after seeing Cesars transform after the events at the Mandalay Bay with the new addition of their own paramilitary group (the SRTs) and their actions during DEF CON. Just check out their job descriptions: https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/security-officer-srt-i-fu...

Before the SRTs, I personally know from knowing the staff who run the conference that they have helped Cesars Entertainment in previous years strengthen and work with them hand-in-hand to secure their networks and train their staff. Even work with the goons to make sure people didn't get trespassed over shenanigans. I honestly think the mid level management is sad we are gone.

The other side is the Okta was just a taste of what could go wrong. Seeing MGM totally shut down and loosing millions was scary for upper management. Auditors weren't comparing Blackhat to DEF CON but that the listing on the spreadsheet was not "boat show" but "hacking con" and they deemed that was too much risk for the level of coverage Cesars Entertainment wanted.

Never the less, we all hated Cesars and I am personally excited to see what this next year will look like.

The bomb threat last year is a funny story that I cant share here. It was very much a nothing burger but their security doing what they are paid to do.

After the impact of the MGM hack this year Cesars probably revisited their insurance on getting compromised. After the auditors and lawyers looked at all the risks they came across DEF CON and said no because of the wording of how DEF CON is marketed. Their choice was probably to drop them or loose coverage.

DEF CON is listed as a "hacker convention held annually in Las Vegas, Nevada." where Blackhat is "Black Hat is an internationally recognized cybersecurity event series providing the most technical and relevant information security..."

I imagine places like the convention center cant afford or care about insurance at this level.

I asked this same question in an interview to an ex Redhat employee interviewing for a Linux Admin role and their answer was that they didn't know what SystemD was.

I think overall this is a great question to sus out if someone is qualified for a role.
