On August 6, join the Citizen Lab’s director Ron Deibert at Black Hat 2025 for his keynote, Chasing Shadows: Chronicles of Counter-Intelligence from the Citizen Lab.
For over twenty years, the University of Toronto’s Citizen Lab has pioneered investigations into digital security and human rights—from exposing state cyber espionage to uncovering the global spread of mercenary spyware targeting journalists, activists, and human rights defenders. Drawing from his latest book, Chasing Shadows: Cyber Espionage, Subversion, and the Global Fight for Democracy, Deibert will recount how the Lab’s mission to conduct “counter-intelligence for civil society” revealed surveillance around the inner circle of murdered Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi and uncovered domestic espionage campaigns across Mexico, Spain, Hungary, Poland, Thailand, El Salvador, and most recently, Italy.
