Locknote: Conclusions and Key Takeaways From Black Hat Europe 2017
summary
Conference concludes that hardware trust is broken: Intel ME and UEFI bugs persist, privileged subsystems can be compromised for years without detection. Regulation and market incentives fail: vendors ship insecure long‑lived IoT and firmware with no reliable patch model for IoT, and GDPR may nudge behavior but won’t fix supply‑chain backdoors. Mirai‑scale cascades and SS7/LTE protocol reuse show complexity breeds widespread impact. AI marketing outpaces usable tools; emphasis returns to accountable product quality, transparent patching, and measurable consequences.
