Jeff Moss
SAINTCON 2025 · Day 2 · Keynote
In a candid and insightful keynote address at SAINTCON, Jeff Moss, widely known as "The Dark Tangent" and the visionary founder of both **Defcon** and **Black Hat**, offered a sweeping retrospective on the evolution of hacking, the cybersecurity industry, and the challenges facing digital security today. Delivered as an intimate conversation rather than a traditional slide-based presentation, Moss's talk delved into the origins of the hacker community, the changing legal landscape, and the complex geopolitical forces shaping our interconnected world. His unique perspective, born from three decades at the forefront of the hacker movement, provides invaluable context for understanding the present state of cyber defense and offers a provocative outlook on its future.
