Wednesday 9 December hosts two Forums. The Cyber War Forum is an invitation-only gathering of security experts, government officials, military leaders and policy authorities looking at cyber conflict and the resilience of the systems that sustain society. The Secure Play Forum, delivered in partnership with GDC, is aimed at people building and defending online games and the virtual economies around them.
Both days combine keynotes, roundtable discussions and audience polling, and some sessions run under the Chatham House Rule. Registration is open through the Black Hat Europe website.
