DarkMatter's presence at Black Hat USA will be spearheaded by CEO Faisal Al Bannai. In addition, there will be senior DarkMatter representatives present.

Commenting on its forthcoming Platinum presence at Black Hat USA, Faisal Al Bannai said, "We have been communicating our capabilities and the cyber security talent we have attracted to the company for almost a year, and Black Hat USA now affords us an opportunity to tell our story to the wider cyber security community. We are very proud of the progress we have made to date, but the more we have achieved, the more we have quickly understood how much remains to be done, and we are seeking partners to pitch in and support our ambitions."
