Rsa Conference 2024 Highlights: Cutting-Edge Cybersecurity

Innovations

AI in Action: Real-World Breakthroughs and Innovations

By Samridhi Agarwal, Masters Student, CMU

Attending the RSA Conference for the first time was an incredible experience! Ever since I began my
journey in cybersecurity, attending the RSA Conference had been a major goal. The excitement still
hasn't worn off—RSA week was truly amazing. Having a press pass was a highlight, allowing me to
interact with CISOs, CTOs, CEOs, and other leaders from cutting-edge cybersecurity organizations. The
conversations were eye-opening and deeply motivating, reinforcing my passion for cybersecurity and the
collective effort of thousands of organizations working to safeguard our data.

The conference featured an impressive lineup of speakers, and as soon as I got the schedule booklet, I
plunged into planning mode. Everything sounded fascinating, and I wanted to attend as much as possible
during those four days. Balancing my time between the Expo, speaker sessions, and networking events,
I met incredible people and learned about their groundbreaking work and organizations. A few
organizations particularly stood out for their innovative contributions to the field. In this trip report, I'll be
giving a shoutout to these organizations and the amazing people behind their work.
