Of the countless security conferences held across the globe, only one combines craft beer and malware analysis in the National Security Agency’s backyard. Every year, federal contractors and analysts at Beltway cybersecurity companies gather for a day at Jailbreak Brewery’s Laurel, Maryland, headquarters to trade specialized knowledge in digital forensics. “The training is really good; the beers are even better,” said a Department of Justice employee sipping a Lemon Meringue Berliner Weisse. The DOJ employee, who declined to speak on the record, has been coming since the summit’s inception in 2015. “I learn something new every year,” he said, before descending from the bar and taking a seat in front of the presentation stage.
