"Is It Secure?” (No.) For almost 60 years, recurring questions have beset our industry: “How do we secure it” (Can’t.) “Are We Secure?” (No.)  They all assume that a deterministic answer is possible.  (It isn’t.)  The real question should be, “How does the Trust Factor of my current security posture change over time?” Now, that’s answerable. Probabilistically. C’mon down and learn how. (No product pitches. Just knowledge.)

RSA® Conference, the world’s leading information security conferences and expositions, today concluded its 31st annual event at the Moscone Center in San Francisco. The year’s event attracted over 26,000 attendees, including 600+ speakers, 400+ exhibitors, and over 400 members of the media. Throughout the week, attendees networked on the expo floor and participated in keynote presentations, track sessions, tutorials, seminars, and special events.

Several of the most pressing topics discussed during this year’s Conference included issues surrounding privacy and surveillance, the positive and negative impacts of machine learning and artificial intelligence, the nuances of risk and policy, and cybersecurity-focused innovations across crypto and blockchain.
