The Message of Transformation

Channel Futures: What are your thoughts on “transform,” the theme of RSAC 2022? Is the industry receiving this message?

RSA’s Jim Taylor: Yes, I think it’s starting to. I’ve been working in this space for a long time, 25-plus years. I would say the overall market is more disrupted and going through more change now than I’ve ever seen in my career. It feels like something is changing. There are new conversations. Just look at the rise of zero trust, and all of the stuff that’s come from government and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), and multifactor authentication (MFA) … It feels like it’s coming of age. The conversation is real now and things are actually changing. So we’re very hopeful that it’s a meaningful change and that cyber as a whole really starts to move forward rapidly.
