Key Takeaways

CF: What do you hope attendees can take home and make use of from RSA?

JT: I would say the big things are the big messages around the themes. It’s around disruption, transformation and change. I would say the consistent conversation that we’ve been having is around zero trust and what that means. Everybody has a different definition for zero trust, you know. And there’s MFA and securing hybrid work. That’s been a huge topic of conversation.

I would say the whole [discussion around] how does security operate in the new world? Onboarding employees that you may never actually meet. People don’t come into the office; they work from home. So how do you do that initial identity verification? I think people are starting to get their heads around the new norm, which is very different from the old norm. And I think there have been a lot of security discussions around how to really secure the new norm. That’s a message that everybody’s taking away. I think everybody’s going to take a breath and say, “OK, we’ve defined what the new norm looks like; there’s a new problem set with it and now we know what we need to do to go solve that.”
