Meet the Bishop Fox Team at Layer 8 Conference 2025!

The Layer 8 Conference returns on Saturday, June 14, 2025, at Boston University, bringing together professionals, researchers, and enthusiasts to explore the latest in social engineering and OSINT. With two focused tracks and an outstanding speaker lineup, this is one of the most accessible and unique security conferences of the year.

We’re especially excited that Alethe Denis of Bishop Fox will be delivering a keynote alongside Rae Baker — both bringing powerful insights from the front lines of red teaming and cyber investigations.

Keynote Preview

Title: Hijacking Autopilot: The Reticular Activating System (RAS) and the Art of Capturing Attention

Alethe will explore how the brain’s Reticular Activating System (RAS) filters information — and how social engineers can exploit it to bypass awareness and capture attention. Expect practical insights into perception manipulation and cognitive blind spots in security behavior.

Whether you’re looking to sharpen your offensive security skills, learn real-world OSINT tactics, or just connect with a passionate community of practitioners, Layer 8 delivers high-value content in an approachable setting.
