RSA Conference Teaser

As you may already know, I’m attending the 2010 RSA Conference in San Francisco, CA.  I’ve been spending so much time talking with vendors, going to keynote talks and going to track sessions I haven’t had much time to finish writing and editing any full blog posts yet.  Rather than rush to publish, I want to take my time and write up my thoughts and experiences fully.  As a result, there will probably be a number of delayed posts in the coming days and weeks about my experiences here.  For now, I’ll leave you with these teasers from my first day at RSA:

• Art Coviello (RSA) believes that the emergence of cloud computing will be our opportunity as an industry to turn the way security is delivered inside out.
• Paul Maritz (VMWare) thinks the formula for embracing cloud computing is simple: improve efficiency, improve agility, improve security.
• Mark Benioff (salesforce.com) stated Lotus Notes was conceived before Mark Zuckerberg was; enterprise software needs to change, and become more like Facebook.
• As evidenced by having Brian Snow, NSA on the Cryptographers Panel: the commercial and academic communities still have a lot of distrust and suspicion of the NSA.

Other items I’ll be writing about: a lunch I had with F-Secure’s Mikko Hypponen where he discussed cyber crime, and a session I attended called “Winnovation- Security Zen through Disruptive Innovation and Cloud Computing”.  Stay tuned!
