SAN FRANCISCO – Artificial intelligence will dominate this week’s RSA Conference 2024 with nearly a dozen keynotes and even more technical sessions dedicated to how the technology is reshaping the industry and fueling innovation.Keynote headliners, such as Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken, are expected to broaden the discussion to include the U.S. government’s efforts to infuse cybersecurity innovation into emerging technologies such as AI, quantum computing and biotechnology.This year’s theme is “The Art of Possible,” a topic to be unpacked by Hugh Thompson, executive chairman, RSAC, at his opening keynote “The Power of Community” on Monday. RSAC is about community problem solving, Thompson said in a recent post."What most people don’t appreciate about cybersecurity professionals is that we are a part of a mission-driven community. The attackers often work in near isolation; cyber pros collaborate. The elite of the world’s cybersecurity community are about to gather at RSA Conference, but it is more than a gathering. It’s the convening of a community," Thompson wrote. The cybersecurity confab will also serve as a backdrop for the who’s who in cybersecurity to roll out new services and solutions. Days leading up to RSAC’s kickoff, dozens of companies were turning up the volume on show news ranging from data-cloud security solutions (Lookout), AI-powered cybersecurity platforms (Trend Micro) and debut fraud-prevention tools (DataDome).New cybersecurity research to be featured during RSAC sessions includes a fresh analysis by Infoblox of the threat actor "Muddling Meerkat" and how it abused DNS mail exchange servers to launch attacks. New research presented by identity security firm Silverfort on Monday outlines a new credential-theft technique that targets Azure AD and Pingfed and how to defend against it.
