In security, regions can impact available technical capabilities, manpower, and other resources. This has been felt more than ever in African countries given the dramatic shift to remote work during the pandemic. This talk will dissect and compare regional responses to COVID from security teams in 17 different countries in Africa, North America, Asia, and the Middle East. 

RSA® Conference, the world’s leading information security conferences and expositions, concluded its 30th annual event, which took place as a fully virtual experience this week. This year’s theme was Resilience, and in honor of all that the cybersecurity industry has accomplished over the past three decades, offered a must-attend celebration of thought leadership and education.


More than 20,000 people registered to view 449 sessions including, keynotes, track sessions, interactive programs, tutorials, seminars, and many special digital-first programs that focused on best practices and innovation. The content covered many of the industry’s most pressing topics, including privacy, machine learning and artificial intelligence, analytics, anti-fraud, policy and government, and risk management and governance.
