ISMG.Studio and Black Hat USA 2026 Enter Strategic Media Partnership

ISMG.Studio Will Join Black Hat USA 2026 as a Media Partner With Journalist-Led Interviews From LIVEWIRE

Princeton, NJ – ISMG.Studio, the editorial-led production and media amplification arm of Information Security Media Group, will join Black Hat USA 2026 as a media partner, recording from its dedicated studio within Black Hat LIVEWIRE – the event’s on-site broadcast environment at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas.

Black Hat USA remains a focal point for the security community’s technical research, threat intelligence, vulnerability discovery and practitioner-led debate. As organizations confront faster-moving threats, AI-driven risk, cloud and identity complexity, and persistent pressure on security teams, the need for timely, credible interpretation has become more important for security leaders worldwide.

From its studio within Black Hat LIVEWIRE, ISMG’s editorial team will capture the conversations shaping cybersecurity. Throughout the conference, ISMG editors will conduct interviews, analysis and on-ground perspectives from security researchers, practitioners, executives and technology leaders. This coverage will extend Black Hat USA conversations beyond the show floor through ISMG’s global network of more than 2 million subscribers across cybersecurity, information technology, AI and operational technology communities.

The ISMG.Studio coverage will focus on the research, operational lessons and leadership priorities emerging from the conference, with interviews designed to help CISOs, security practitioners and business technology leaders understand what matters now and what may shape security strategy next. 

“We’re honored to partner with Black Hat on this inaugural media collaboration,” said David Elichman, chief collaboration officer at ISMG. “From our studio at Black Hat LIVEWIRE, ISMG’s editors will bring the expertise and research defining cybersecurity directly to security leaders worldwide – carrying Black Hat’s insights to our global audience of more than two million security professionals.”

Through this partnership, ISMG.Studio will amplify Black Hat USA’s impact across the global security community – with journalist-led interviews, editorial programming and post-event coverage distributed throughout ISMG’s media ecosystem. This coverage turns the conversations taking shape at Black Hat into lasting insight for the security leaders who rely on ISMG for independent cybersecurity news, analysis, education and research.

Coverage from Black Hat USA 2026 will be available through ISMG’s editorial channels and related event coverage pages. For more information, visit here.
