The RSAC cybersecurity conference is this week and for the last two years, the conversation at the event has revolved around generative artificial intelligence — that is, models we talk to, and they talked back and act as a copilot. At RSAC 2026, there has been a definite change in topic as the world has been shifting from conversational AI to agentic AI.
For years, the “wall” between storage and networking administrators has been a fixture of the enterprise data center.

If you haven’t finished your Christmas shopping and have $249 to spend for a piece of technology about four inches wide, three-and-a-half inches high, and 1.3 inches thick, then Nvidia Corp. has the perfect gift. The tech giant introduced the Jetson Orin Nano Super Developer Kit this week. Though that’s a big name for such a small product, don’t be fooled. The latest innovation from Nvidia packs a big wallop in its little package.
