On this week’s episode of Inside the Media Minds, we bring you back to the Black Hat 2019 Conference week in Las Vegas to hear from Joe Uchill, Cybersecurity Reporter at Axios.
With a background in applied math and a keen interest in research focused topics, Joe found himself accidentally immersed into journalism during college when he befriended fellow students active on the school newspaper. During his week at Black Hat, Joe seeks out micro-level research that has a lifespan which extends way beyond the conference week. Along with his deep-seated interest in research-driven news, we learn that he’s interested in the international aspect of hackers and how their focuses and tactics differ across the globe.
Join us in learning more about Joe’s unique perspective on:
- His prediction of the top story of 2019 (besides election security)
- How to sift through the research that comes out around Black Hat
- The value of attending security conferences such as Black Hat and how to break through the noise
