While RSA Conference USA - the largest information security conference in the world - managed to take place mere weeks before the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic, European countries started closing borders and airlines started suspending routes and grounding planes, most infosec and tech events scheduled to take place after it were doomed. "We have found that immersive, live virtual event platforms, offer the opportunity for interacting with exhibitors, solution providers and peer-to-peer networking. Surprisingly, with respect to otherwise introverted attendees, we've found they're more likely to reach out for networking than at a physical event. While the 'happy hour' might not be quite the same, virtual event platforms have thought through almost every facet of the physical event experience."

Hackers had targeted the meeting on the video conference platform Zoom while Weber was completing the final step of her doctoral degree at Duke University. In New York, Attorney General Letitia James sent a letter to Zoom with questions about how users' privacy and security are being protected.

It was just a matter of time once people began using Zoom more frequently to collaborate remotely, that their conversations would be hijacked in a phenomenon known as Zoom bombing. Zoom bombing is an emerging trend where attackers find publicly posted Zoom invite links, then join them to screenshare pornography or other inappropriate content, said Paul Bischoff, a privacy advocate with Comparitech, a pro-consumer website that provides information on tech services.

The deadly novel coronavirus has reached California's tech sector with the news that an engineer who attended the RSA Conference in San Francisco last month has now tested positive for COVID-19 - and is in a serious condition. The RSA Conference is significant with roughly 40,000 attendees.

After the disruption caused by the last-minute cancellation of Mobile World Congress, there were some mutterings as to whether RSA Conference 2020 would still happen. A focus topic for RSA Conference 2012, the underlying concepts continued to mature, as more organizations moved into cloud services over the coming years.

Joseph Krull, an analyst with Aite Group, recommends that vendors at RSA Conference should focus on how they integrate with the life of a CISO, rather than fixing point solutions. Why vendors should focus on what problems their solutions are solving;.

More than 36,000 attendees, 704 speakers and 658 exhibitors gathered at the Moscone Center last week to explore the Human Element in cybersecurity through hundreds of keynote presentations, track sessions, tutorials, seminars and special events. "Our mission is to connect cybersecurity professionals with diverse perspectives and backgrounds to inspire new ways of thinking and push the industry forward," said Linda Gray Martin, Senior Director and General Manager, RSA Conference.
