Welcome to CDM's RSA Conference 2021 Special Edition


            It’s hard to believe that it’s been over a year since we all gathered for RSA Conference 2020 in San Francisco. So much has changed
            in our world since then. This past year has tested everyone’s resolve in unique and unexpected ways, making the theme of RSA
            Conference 2021 -- Resilience -- resonate more than ever.

            Here we are again, just weeks away from RSA Conference 2021, taking place virtually from May 17-20. While under ordinary
            circumstances, we’d be preparing to greet over 45,000 cybersecurity professionals, media, analysts and vendors to the Moscone
            Center, we could not be more excited to reveal an incredible digital-first experience that will combine the world-class content our
            audience has grown to expect with exciting new elements made possible by the virtual environment.

            This year is also special for RSA Conference as it marks our 30th anniversary. In celebration of all that we have accomplished
            together throughout the past three decades, we have prepared one of our best programming lineups to-date. We look forward to
            bringing together the industry’s greatest minds for more than more than 200 traditional and interactive sessions across 24 tracks
            for high-caliber and entertaining presentations and discussions. Our virtual keynote stage will be packed with thought-provoking
            content from industry visionaries, both RSAC veterans and newcomers alike, including a must-see fireside chat with the president
            and CEO of SolarWinds that will explore the technical elements of the breach and provide a deeper understanding into the most
            sophisticated supply chain attack in history.

            But it doesn’t stop there. Once again, attendees will have the chance to witness the next generation of cybersecurity innovators at
            the RSAC Innovation Sandbox. The impact of the competition has always extended far beyond the Conference stage and this year,
            while in a new digital format, will be no different. We also know how important networking is to our attendees, and RSA Conference
            2021 will be loaded with opportunities to interact and collaborate with peers, sponsors, and experts. Every single program has been
            carefully designed to break down the barriers of virtual connection.

            Every year brings new challenges -- to you, to your employees, to your organization -- and perhaps no year in recent memory threw
            us for a loop quite like 2020. The best weapon against these challenges? Resilience.

            RSA Conference 2021 is the best place for the cybersecurity industry to come together to strengthen our resilience. From the first
            day to the last, attendees can expect to experience unending passion to evolve, adapt and do everything possible to protect the
            people and organizations that rely on us as their advocates.

            We look forward to virtually convening in May!



            Linda Gray Martin, Vice President, RSA Conference
