Not a lot of substance at Black Hat USA

Black Hat USA kicked off over the weekend and company announcements followed the marketing focus on agentic AI products and services. However, there was more hash than corned beef in these announcements. Most were repackaged current product offerings.

A handful of announcements targeted at Black Hat focused on AI-generated or agentic threats. Most of the announcements repeated announcements prior to the RSA conference,for "agentic AI security" marketing. These include Tenable, Bedrock Data, Cycode, LimaCharlie, Flint AI, GTB Technologies, Strike48, Alice, Menlo Security and Adaptive Security.

Among more interesting legitimate announcements were Backslash Security, and Lineaje.
