"RSAC 2018 was one of the most memorable ones for me. In my
conversations with visitors to the Carbon Black booth, I was encouraged
that security leaders are focused on creating a more comprehensive and
inclusive approach to cybersecurity. At the end of the day, we're all in
this together with common adversaries. While the media focus is often on
the bad guys, RSAC 2018 demonstrated that product innovation makes this
a great time to be a good guy."
"In keeping with previous years, RSA Conference 2018 has raised the bar
in terms of the quality of participants and content, and we congratulate
RSAC on these accomplishments. At Check Point, we are dedicated to
providing exceptional support and enablement of our customers and
partners, wherever they may be. RSA Conference 2018 provided us with the
perfect environment to do that. The cyber-threat landscape is complex
and evolving. Check Point is committed to playing its part, as a member
of the cyber security community, to protect private and public
enterprises, large and small, from these damaging cyber-attacks."
"RSA Conference is the only event that brings security experts, policy
makers and executives from technology companies together in a collegial
environment to discuss how best to solve the security challenges we face
globally. It is a wonderful forum to help the cyber security
professional stay current. We are always honored to assist by reviewing
the most deadly attacks as a part of the annual address and to provide
NetWars as a fun engaging environment for security professionals to test
their hands-on, technical skills."
"This year's RSA Conference has been a fantastic event for Trend Micro.
Our booth has been filled each day with security professionals looking
for a strategic partner to help them cut through the industry noise.
With attendees from around the world coming to events like RSAC to learn
more about topics ranging from IoT threats, to cloud and DevOps
security, to real-world applications of machine learning, we have an
opportunity to leverage trusted voices to truly shape the conversations
our industry is having and ultimately better support our customers and
partners alike."
"We've been hearing how industrial IoT security is providing the trusted
foundation for a new wave of innovation and automation. At RSAC 2018,
our team has had so many great discussions about this new vision for
security and how emerging technologies, such as blockchain and edge
computing, can be deployed to protect machines, applications and people." RSA CONFERENCE ONLINE
