FINAL Pre-Event Interview Alert! Next Stop: Las Vegas!
This is it—our last #BlackHat USA 2025 conversation before we hit the road to Vegas (and who knows, maybe we'll broadcast from a desert pit stop along the way! )
But what a way to close out our pre-event coverage...
When Constitutional Law Meets #Cybersecurity: A Critical Conversation We All Need to Hear
What happens when we stop seeing government surveillance as a necessary evil and start recognizing it as a primary threat to privacy?
Jennifer Granick, ACLU's Surveillance and Cybersecurity Counsel, challenges us to rethink everything we assume about digital #privacy in her upcoming #BlackHatUSA 2025 keynote.
In this preview conversation with Marco Ciappelli, Jennifer makes a compelling case:
The Fourth Amendment hasn't kept pace with technology
Legal reform is too slow—so technologists must lead
Privacy isn't just a legal problem—it's a design challenge
We need a new #threatmodel that puts unchecked surveillance at the center
From defending hackers since #DEFCON 3 to fighting surveillance overreach at the ACLU, Jennifer brings decades of frontline experience to this critical discussion.
The key takeaway? While lawmakers debate, engineers and designers hold the power to protect civil liberties through encryption, data minimization, and privacy-first architecture.
This isn't just another privacy talk—it's a call to action for every technologist, policymaker, and privacy advocate.
