RSA® Conference 2017 Closes With Record AttendanceRSA® Conference, the world's leading information security conferences and expositions, today concluded its 26th annual event in San Francisco. A record number of more than 43,000 attendees experienced keynotes, peer-to-peer sessions, track sessions, tutorials and seminars. "Leading up to RSA Conference 2017 it could have been argued that this event was the most anticipated in our history," said Linda Gray Martin, Director & General Manager of RSA Conference. "Over the last few months information security has experienced both tremendous highs, and weathered scrutiny of lows as experts in private and public sectors debated various practices of information sharing. As a result of this increased exposure, it was critical to have an RSA Conference full of constructive dialog, discussion and debate that will form the information security agenda and continue to move our industry forward. We hope our attendees took this powerful opportunity as the chance to help forge a future we can all be proud of." RSA Conference 2017 highlights include:
RSAC Unplugged London will take place on June 8, 2017. RSA Conference 2017 Asia Pacific & Japan takes place July 26-28, 2017 in Singapore. Additionally, RSA Conference returns to Abu Dhabi November 7-8, 2017. RSA Conference 2018 takes place April 16-20, 2018 in San Francisco. EXHIBITOR QUOTES
"Security is Cisco's top priority and an essential part of every product
that we build. We are always excited to be at the RSA conference.
Engaging with the smartest infosec professionals from our customers,
partners and the community provides us with important input into our
strategy and roadmaps. The increasing size of this event illustrates the
growing importance and investment that every company is making in
information security. And that is good for us all."
"RSA Conference 2017 brought together the business and government
community at the forefront of the dramatic changes reshaping
cybersecurity. This year's conference provided a valuable backdrop for
us to discuss critical issues like the need for new approaches to
endpoint protection, and the challenge of eliminating the cost and
complexity of security operations. FireEye (News - Alert) places a high priority on
threat intelligence and the insights learned on the frontlines of
today's cyber breaches, and RSA Conference 2017 reflected the defining
developments we see emerging from the continually evolving threat
landscape."
"This year's RSA Conference challenged a big industry audience to think
small. Small are the attack surfaces of security cameras, home routers,
and mobile devices increasingly populating our office and home work
environments. Small are the diverse data transactions that require
innumerable protective measures. Big are the shifts in thinking that
require us to think of ourselves as small players inside a vast
ecosystem of solution providers. Thinking small is the first step in
working together more effectively, and having a big impact with better
outcomes."
"Security is a team sport. Splunk customers want solutions that work
together in a coordinated and automated manner, using data, analytics,
next generation firewalls, threat intelligence and other technologies to
defend and protect against threats in real-time. We clearly saw at RSA
Conference 2017 that the industry is moving in this direction. We heard
repeatedly this year how emerging threats are disrupting and negatively
impacting businesses across the globe, but the spirit of collaboration,
powered by industry advancements in analytics and orchestration, were on
full display at RSA."
"In 2017 we continue to see a wide variety of attack types, yet many
teams out there tell us they lack the proper tools or skills to address
threats comprehensively. RSAC 2017 provided a valuable platform for the
infosec community to come together and share ideas on how to
pragmatically reduce risk for our organizations. With so many
considerations - regulatory compliance, cloud, industrial OT
environments - one message came through clearly: foundational
security controls are more important than ever to establish resilient
Infosec capabilities that deliver effective security regardless of what
comes at you." RSA CONFERENCE ONLINE
