SCYTHE launched SCYTHE Marketplace, which enables trusted third-party developers to create new capabilities for the company's attack emulation platform. The platform offers public cloud security and compliance monitoring capabilities, to help detect configuration vulnerabilities, understand the business impact of critical risks, and address challenges associated with public cloud adoption.
San Francisco is the site of the RSA 2020 conference, which took place despite cancellations from IBM, Verizon and AT&T. As San Francisco declared a state of emergency and the federal government warned Americans that novel coronavirus will spread within the US, RSA 2020 still soldiered on at the Moscone Center. On the first day of the security event, organizers sent a message through the conference app, encouraging attendees to knock elbows instead of shake hands.
In a RSA 2020 simulation, the Red Team compromised email accounts, created deepfake videos and spread disinformation on Election Day in Adversaria. At RSA 2020, Cybereason assembled a group of journalists and other conference attendees to be the Red Team, in charge of creating just enough chaos to cause residents of the fictional city Adversaria to doubt the results of the election.

Code42, a provider of insider threat management tools, announced updates to its cloud data security solution to help security teams closely monitor, detect and investigate data threats caused by high-risk employees. VMware announced the launch of the VMware Advanced Security for Cloud Foundation, which will enable customers to replace legacy security solutions.
While the cybersecurity industry has increasingly focused on the roles artificial intelligence and machine learning can play in thwarting attacks, the humans behind the algorithms remain both points of strength and weakness, says RSA President Rohit Ghai, who kicked off the Tuesday keynote presentations at the RSA 2020 conference in San Francisco. Ghai offered lessons learned from the 2018 ransomware attack against Atlanta, which ended up paying over $17 million for clean-up and recovery after deciding not to give into the demand of the attackers, who had originally demanded a ransom of $51,000 in bitcoin to unlock the systems.
Actor and activist George Takei opened RSA 2020 with the message, "Homogeneity equals disaster," and RSA president Rohit Ghai reinforced that message: "We need to stop being snobs and trade exclusivity for inclusion." The discussion was in the RSA 2020 opening keynote on Tuesday, Feb. 25, at the Moscone Center in San Francisco. By looking beyond the traditional profile of a security expert, security teams can improve their problem-solving skills by improving diversity.
