It's almost here: RSAC 2022. The cybersecurity industry's largest event hasn't happened in person since 2020, but that will change next week. This is our humble attempt to share some of the highlights that shouldn't be missed as well as resources to help you decide how to make the most of the conference.
I think of the RSA Conference in 5 distinct buckets:
The RSAC website has all of the session details and training options, so in this post, we'll focus on some of the not-to-be-missed highlights.
There are 470 vendors spread between the North Expo, South Expo, and Early Stage Expo. You can see more details about each exhibitor in the RSAC Marketplace.
With that many vendors, if you spent 5 minutes at each booth, it would take more than 39 hours to visit them all. Unfortunately, the expo hall is only open for a total of 23 hours. So you'll need to plan your visits or use a time machine.
In lieu of time travel, a few tips to decide which booths to visit:
The conference runs from Saturday, June 4th (registration only) through Thursday, June 9th. A few highlights and additional resources below.
Sunday is for training sessions and registration only on the official schedule, but the parties start early.
