RSAC wrap: AI and China on everything, everywhere, all at once
Another RSAC has come and gone, with almost 44,000 attendees this year spread across San Francisco’s Moscone Center and the surrounding facilities, according to conference organizers. Hopefully, all of us made it home safely, didn’t get deported to a Venezuelan prison, and didn’t end up bringing home a virus — computer or corona.
You can read all of The Register’s coverage here, and as with previous years’ conferences, some key trends and themes emerged throughout the week. The most obvious? “AI is everywhere,” as everyone from former National Security Agency cyber boss Rob Joyce to Rapid7 senior director of threat analytics Christiaan Beek told us, using those exact words, when asked to share their takeaways from this year’s event.

If you’re online, you’re generating a constant stream of information about yourself — sometimes voluntarily, sometimes unwittingly — that is assembled and used to craft your online experience. And generate wealth for data brokers. Meanwhile, designers and managers of the digital infrastructure on which the world depends are engaged in a never-ending effort to thwart attempts, by both criminal enterprises and state actors, to exploit vulnerabilities in those systems.
