Last week I was at the industry event, RSAC and this week I’m at IBM Think, a vendor event and this got me thinking about the difference between the two types of conferences and how much they’ve changed over the years. Flashback to 15 years ago: If you wanted to experience a blockbuster tech event, you were probably booking your ticket to something like Networld + Interop.
Palo Alto Networks Inc. kicked off this week’s RSA Conference in San Francisco by introducing new capabilities for its ever-expanding security portfolio.
The announcements were focused on its two major platforms: network security and Cortex. Palo Alto Networks has introduced Prisma Access Browser 2.0 into its secure access service edge offering. In late 2023, Palo Alto acquired Talon to jump into the secure enterprise browser market and now it has made the offering part of its SASE stack.
It’s nearing the end of April and for the security industry, this means it’s time for the RSAC Conference. Over the next week or so, about 50,000 people will flock to the Moscone Center to take in the latest and greatest in cyber. One company that has retooled much of its portfolio over the past year is Cisco Systems Inc. and it’s used RSAC to launch many new products.
All security eyes are on San Francisco this week as the RSA Conference kicks off. One vendor with some early news is Cisco Systems Inc., which unveiled a salvo of new offerings in its Cisco Security Cloud. Designed to support and safeguard artificial intelligence, the features aim to help companies protect their applications, devices, users and data.
One of the major themes from last week’s RSA Security conference was the rise of converged network and security platforms as organizations look to consolidate the number of vendors they have and leverage the ubiquity of the network.
