Here is a small hint of what’s going on at RSAC, which only requires an Expo Pass on Monday 28th:

8:00 AM - 3:00 PM PDT - Moscone South 302 - CSA Summit — Transformation: Ushering in the Next Generation of Cybersecurity. The CSA Summit focuses on the Next Generation of Cybersecurity. The impact of AI on critical areas of cybersecurity spotlights the essential need for organizations to increase education and improve security posture.

5:00 PM - 7:00 PM PDT -Moscone North and South Expos - Kick off RSAC™ 2025 with drinks and hors d’oeuvres as you preview solutions from 600+ leading information security organizations in the Expo.

There will be lots more technical and business-oriented sessions, some of them requiring a higher-level pass, but there are a couple more fun things happening later in the week on Wednesday 30th:

11:30 AM - 12:00 PM PDT - Moscone West Keynote - The Art of the Assist with Playmaker Earvin "Magic" Johnson, where the basketball legend, business visionary, and trailblazing philanthropist will share his secrets of success. “He’s done it all.

Overall, the agenda is full of enlightenment about security, both physical and cyber, and many of the events and sessions are ideal networking opportunities. Oh, one last thing. I’m often asked what RSAC™ actually stands for. The ‘S’ must be for ‘Security, right?’. Nope, the event is actually named after the three mathematicians, Ron Rivest, Adi Shamir and Leonard Adleman, who developed the public-key cryptosystem of the same name (Rivest–Shamir–Adleman). The conference itself, RSA Conference, is also named after this algorithm and the company that initially developed it, RSA Security. Now you know!
