Black Hat USA · Las Vegas · Aug 3–7, 2026

Follow the white rabbit.

One week. Four events. Open slots in between. This is exactly where to find Caleb Sima during Black Hat — and if you want to catch me, message me on LinkedIn.

Day_01 // Monday, August 3

All day & night.

Afternoon · Nomination-only

NextGen CISO Forum

WhiteRabbit is bringing together the next generation of security executives — not sitting CISOs, but the people sitting CISOs believe are ready to make the jump.
The Road to the Chair — Caleb Sima + Chaim Mazal (CISO, GitLab). The real version of how you actually get there, not the LinkedIn version.
First 90 Days — Nicole Grinstead (Roblox) + Jake Schroeder (LVT)
On the Hook — David Hirsch (former Head of SEC Cyber/Crypto Enforcement)
The State of the Search — Michael Piacente (Hitch Partners) + Tom Alcock (Code Red Partners)

AI × security.
