The Art of Possible: Redefining Cybersecurity in the Age of Data

as the New Perimeter

By Nick Shevelyov, Founder and Managing Partner at vCSO.ai

I have now had the privilege of attending RSA for over 20 years, yet this conference never grows old! My
RSA 2024 started on Sunday, speaking with a group of Cybersecurity executives on translating
cybersecurity risks for a Board of Directors. The National Association of Corporate Directors (NACD)
guidance on this topic came up a number of times, I find it useful, and you reference it as well.

The conference officially got started on Monday and was themed as "The Art of Possible". The conference
served as a convergence point for over 40,000 cybersecurity professionals and business leaders in San
Francisco’s Moscone Center and surrounding areas. This year's discussions delved into the forefront of
cybersecurity innovations, addressing emerging threats, and the evolving landscape where data has
become the new perimeter.

My key take-away, there are several important themes evolving in our industry and we have shifted from
Identity as the new perimeter, to Data being the new perimeter of cybersecurity, and most companies are
struggling to define that territory.
