"If that's not a testament to the passion we have as an industry - and the caliber of the event we run - I'm not sure what is! The amount of attention information security received over the last year was staggering, but it also meant we had a lot of great topics to discuss over the course of our week together at the Moscone Center. I look forward to the positive impact these discussions will make on our world moving forward." RSA Conference 2015 highlights include:

EXHIBITOR QUOTES "The amount of traffic at this year's show at the Cigital booth was stellar and the expo floor definitely had energy. Our recent announcement with IBM (News - Alert) and the growing awareness of application security also contributed to the visitor volume. It was a great opportunity to start new conversations and tell people what Cigital can do for them." - Jim Ivers, Vice President of Marketing, Cigital "An event dedicatedto the business of security like RSA Conference provides the perfect platform to learn about IT security's most important issues through first-hand interactions with peers and industry luminaries. One of the most critical discussions at the show surrounded the Internet of Threats. Now more than ever, companies are realizing they need to leverage a multi-layered approach to cybersecurity that protects their information from both inside and outside the network. Throughout the show, Fortinet was able to engage with countless security professionals aboard the FortiExpress our state-of-the-art mobile research lab, which showcased our innovation and prowess in the realm of Enterprise Network Security." - Andrew Del Matto, CFO, Fortinet "The cybersecurity industry has undoubtedly boomed in recent years, with more high-profile data breaches and larger attack surfaces than ever before, it's not surprising that this year's RSA Conference was a great learning experience overall. Between the research presented and the lively panels that we observed, each day presented opportunities to discover new trends and solutions to evolving problems, and also great opportunities to share the knowledge Tufin has gathered with others. Yet again, we saw a glittering array of new tools for preventing breaches, but companies need to realize that how they organize and coordinate all of those tools on an ongoing and consistent basis is what makes them strong. Moving forward we hope enterprises will begin to see automation and orchestration as a necessity to the success of their security strategies to lessen the brunt of the everyday challenges faced by security managers. We look forward to what else is to come out of the conference and for the remainder of 2015, as well as continue learning and networking with those we encountered at RSA Conference." - Reuven Harrison, CTO and co-founder, Tufin "This year we heard consistently from customers at the show that they are having to change their approach to IT security, that the level of breaches and increasing compliance needs are driving them to make major adjustments in how they protect their organizations. Both the security of their data, and the resilience and availability of services seem to be common focuses. This is also our single most important event of the year. It's where we meet more new customers, engage with more partners and learn more about what is going on in the rest of the IT security industry than at any other venue." - Sol Cates, CSO, Vormetric "It's been an amazing week at RSA Conference. With many lessons learned by corporations, the security industry has responded quickly and made great strides this week to battle against the onslaught of cyber threats. Conference attendees responded overwhelmingly positively to our collective threat intelligence, smarter cybersecurity approach, speaking sessions and demos. In fact, our booth traffic has been higher this year than ever before, and we're definitely looking forward to continuing these conversations at RSA Conference 2016." - Dick Williams, CEO, Webroot RSA CONFERENCE ONLINE
