Women appearing on the RSA keynote stages this year included, among others, cryptography expert and blockchain fan Tal Rabin; Katie Arrington, the Pentagon's CISO of acquisitions, discussing Huawei; Jessica Barker talking about the psychology of fear and trying to blame users; computer scientist and human factors expert Celeste Paul of the National Security Agency; coordinated vulnerability disclosure queen Katie Moussouris; and Wendy Nather of Duo Security - now part of Cisco - who sadly wasn't allowed to arrive on the opening morning's keynote stage via skateboard. RSA went ahead despite mounting concerns over the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 that causes the severe acute respiratory syndrome COVID-19.
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;.
One of the highlights of the annual RSA Conference in San Francisco is the opening keynote session that gathers together a world-class panel of cryptography experts to discuss and debate today's top cybersecurity issues. This year's panelists included the first two letters of the RSA cryptosystem - MIT professor Ronald Rivest and Weizmann Institute professor Adi Shamir; Whitfield Diffie, who helped create the pioneering Diffie-Hellman key exchange protocol; Tal Rabin, an expert in cryptography and network security - including digital signatures and secure online communications; and Arvind Narayanan, a Princeton University professor known for his data de-anonymization work.
