Q: What’s the best part about summer?
A: Summer Camp.

Except this time, leave your bug spray and sleeping bag at home. Hacker Summer Camp (AKA: Black Hat) is back, and we’re ready to pop up our tent (re: booth) on the show floor for the first time as exhibitors!

Hot off of RSA Conference (RSAC), our carry-on bag to Vegas is full of recent, impactful product advancements to help our customers stay ahead of the cyber threats of today (and tomorrow). Think: ransomware, business email compromise (BEC), supply chain attacks, cryptojacking, and so on.

So how do we help?

First, Expel plugs the gaps in your detection coverage. Our friendly detection bot, Josie™, uses your unique business context to enrich and correlate alerts to detect things earlier—amplifying signals to spot behaviors you could otherwise miss across on-prem, cloud infrastructure, and SaaS apps.

Then, our other (equally friendly) bot, Ruxie™, does the tedious triage work so that humans can focus on the response decisions that humans make best. We quickly get to remediation (recommendations or automated—you tell us!) to stop threats from spreading.

The best part? We do all of that in 21 minutes or less. Yup—that fast.

When it’s all said and done, we look at each investigation as a learning opportunity. We ask ourselves key questions, like: what were the root causes? And how do your peers compare? The whole time, our enhanced dashboards show you how your existing security investments and Expel are performing, so you can keep us accountable—a strategy which only increases in importance as more applications and workloads move into the cloud.

At the end of the day, we know security isn’t just a checkbox—it should empower your business. We’re here to help your security team understand and address issues, minimize risk, and grow.

If you can’t tell, we love geeking out about this stuff—and we’d love to geek out with you in Vegas.

To kick things off at Black Hat, we’re hosting a “Cuts & Cocktails” reception at The Barbershop in the Cosmopolitan on Tuesday, August 9, 6 – 9pm PT. Register here for a fresh cut, shave, (dry) hair styling, and makeup touch-ups to help you get ready for a night on the town and to hit the show floor.

After you freshen up, head to the authentic speakeasy hidden in the back of the barbershop—don’t tell anyone we told you—for craft cocktails, heavy hors d’oeuvres, and the return of YouTube (and RSAC) sensation, Harry Mack! (Shoutout to our sponsors, Tevora and Exabeam, for helping to make it all happen.)

If you want to see for yourself how Expel is helping companies of all shapes and sizes make sense of security, book a meeting and stop by our booth (2861) on August 10 and 11.
