- (1888PressRelease) August 27, 2026 - The cybersecurity and observability services company connected with security leaders at Mandalay Bay and spotlighted Integration Fabric from Neuwave, an independent AI-native software company. Crest Data, a cybersecurity and observability services company, today recapped a strong showing at Black Hat USA 2026. Across three days at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, the company connected with security and engineering leaders, shared how its services span the leading security and observability platforms, and spotlighted Neuwave Integration Fabric, the AI-native integration engine built by independent software company Neuwave.
Crest Data at the Event
Crest Data helps enterprises design, build, and operate modern security and observability programs. Working across the Datadog, Dynatrace, ServiceNow, Grafana and AWS partner ecosystems, the company delivers services that span content and detection engineering, platform migrations, managed SOC services, and data and integration engineering. The Crest Data team spent the show on the floor and in meetings, holding one-on-one conversations with practitioners, partners, and decision makers across the Business Hall and briefings. Those conversations reflected a consistent theme this year: security and observability teams are under pressure to do more with the platforms they already own, and they are looking for expert partners who can accelerate detection engineering, migrations, and integration work without adding operational risk.
A Spotlight on Neuwave Integration Fabric
A recurring highlight of those conversations was Integration Fabric, the flagship AI engine from Neuwave, an independent AI-native software company. Neuwave Integration Fabric uses agentic AI to replace slow, expert-dependent development of integration, turning source products, target platforms, schemas, and use cases into validated, production-ready connectors, parsers, and content packs in hours rather than weeks.
Grounded in more than 5,000 real-world integrations and supporting 300 or more products, the engine runs a closed-loop process that generates, validates, and self-corrects each result before a human ever reviews it, escalating only genuinely complex cases for expert judgment. In production use, it eliminates up to 95 percent of manual integration development time while delivering output validated at 90 percent or higher accuracy. The engine drew strong interest from teams looking to standardize integration development across their security and observability stacks.
Recapping Black Hat USA 2026
Black Hat USA 2026 took place August 1 to 6, 2026, at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, bringing together the global information security community for briefings, trainings, and the Business Hall. The event remains one of the most important gatherings of the year for security practitioners, researchers, and the vendors and partners that support them. For Crest Data, the event reinforced a clear direction of travel. Enterprises want measurable outcomes from their security and observability investments, and they increasingly expect AI to do the heavy lifting on repetitive engineering. The company left the event with a full pipeline of follow-up conversations and renewed momentum heading into the second half of the year.
"Black Hat is where the security community sets the agenda for the year ahead, and this year the message was unmistakable. Teams want expert partners, and they want AI that actually reduces their workload," said Mike Saurbaugh, Director, Cybersecurity Business Development, Crest Data. "The response to our work across customers and the interest in what agentic AI can do for integration told us we are focused on exactly the right problems." "Showing security leaders how Integration Fabric builds a production-ready integration in minutes, work that used to take them weeks, was the highlight of the show for us," said Henal Saraiya, Director, Engineering, Neuwave. "The conversations at Black Hat confirmed that the industry is ready for AI-native integration, and we are grateful to Crest Data for helping put Neuwave in front of the right audience."
