Las Vegas, NV - July, 2026 - ForshTec, a cybersecurity engineering company specializing in enterprise security integrations, has announced that Founder Shivang Patel will attend Black Hat USA 2026 and DEF CON 34 in Las Vegas. The visit is focused on engaging with cybersecurity vendors, technology partners, product leaders, and engineering teams around one of the industry's most persistent challenges: building integrations that continue to deliver measurable value well beyond their initial deployment.

Black Hat USA and DEF CON draw thousands of security professionals each year to explore emerging threats, new technologies, and product developments. While much of the discussion centers on what lies ahead, many cybersecurity companies leave these events facing an expanding backlog of integration requests as customers push for support across new platforms, APIs, and security ecosystems.

ForshTec points out that the core challenge is not simply producing more connectors - it is adopting a more thoughtful approach to managing them across their entire lifecycle.

The company describes this approach as Connector Intelligence, a strategic engineering methodology that extends beyond writing integration code. It encompasses continuous monitoring of ecosystem changes, alignment with evolving customer use cases, analysis of production telemetry, and proactive adaptation to technology roadmap shifts.

"Many organizations still view connector development as a project with a finish line," said Shivang Patel, Founder of ForshTec. "In reality, every integration continues to evolve alongside the platforms it connects to. APIs change, schemas evolve, and customer expectations grow. Connector Intelligence is about helping organizations stay ahead of those changes instead of constantly reacting to them."

ForshTec has spent more than a decade supporting cybersecurity vendors with enterprise-grade integrations across SIEM, SOAR, XDR, EDR, identity, cloud security, and threat intelligence platforms. Rather than treating integrations as isolated engineering tasks, the company works alongside clients to build scalable integration ecosystems designed to improve interoperability, reduce maintenance overhead, and accelerate product adoption.

The Connector Intelligence methodology is organized around four key disciplines:

• Monitoring ecosystem changes, API version updates, and evolving data models
• Aligning integrations with real-world security operations and detection use cases
• Leveraging operational insights to continuously improve connector reliability
• Planning integration roadmaps alongside technology partner ecosystems rather than responding after changes have already occurred

"As cybersecurity ecosystems become more interconnected, integrations are no longer just technical features - they've become part of the customer experience," Patel added. "Organizations that proactively manage their integration strategy are better positioned to accelerate deployments, strengthen partnerships, and improve customer satisfaction."

During Black Hat USA and DEF CON, Patel will hold meetings with cybersecurity founders, product managers, engineering leaders, alliance managers, and technology partners to discuss topics that include:

• SIEM connector development
• SOAR integration development
• SIEM, SOAR, and XDR integrations
• Marketplace and technology partnership readiness
• Integration lifecycle management
• Scaling engineering resources for growing integration ecosystems

ForshTec views industry events such as Black Hat USA and DEF CON as more than networking opportunities. The company sees them as a direct window into emerging technologies, shifting platform ecosystems, and the future integration requirements that will shape the next generation of cybersecurity products.

Organizations attending Black Hat USA or DEF CON that are looking to modernize their integration strategy or accelerate enterprise-ready connector development are invited to visit the Black Hat USA & DEF CON event page and schedule a meeting with Shivang Patel.
