RSA Yet another big brand has pulled out of RSA Conference, due to take place next week, amid the ongoing novel coronavirus panic.

"We have decided not to participate in RSA Conference 2020 after careful consideration and discussions. We value our participation in industry events like RSA and greatly support the measures taken by event organizers to protect attendees," an AT&T spokesperson told The Register.

AT&T did not say whether it was also pulling its sponsorship of the event, though the comms giant is still listed as a "Gold Sponsor" on the RSAC website.

Just days ago, IBM announced it will also hold back its employees from the convention over fears the deadly novel coronavirus could break out among attendees.

"The remaining three exhibitors from China will be staffing their booth with individuals from the USA to maintain their presence at RSA Conference," the organizers' ongoing coronavirus alert web page reads.
