I just got back from the RSA Conference at the Moscone center this week with a full pass. It’s my first time and this place is unbelievably packed! The moscone center is huge!
The after parties are the places to be, at this Qualys event, I got to meet, and get the most unflattering selfie of me, and a decent picture of Brian Krebs.
Sometimes, during the conference, you’ll find other security celebs, like Kevin Mitnick.
I talked to Kevin very briefly about doing a presentation at my company. He was down for it!
I really wanted to also meet and get a signed book from Bruce Schneier, but that line was hella long.
I found the conference sessions to be very useful for learning security and risk practices at the higher levels, meaning, dealing with behaviors (based on priorities of the business) and processes, while the expo floor was filled with technology, booth babes, and free crap (fun free crap). When I say free, I mean at the cost of your contact information.
Most of the presentations are available at the RSA Conference website.
