Our mission at RSAC™ Conference is to provide programs that help ensure cybersecurity practitioners around the world get the knowledge they need to spur professional growth and protect their organizations from cyberthreats. And a critical part of this mission is to help ensure that the next-generation of cybersecurity professionals have the tools and guidance they need to grow. This is why we created RSAC™ College Day.

Where: Moscone Center, San Francisco

It’s estimated that there are more than 3.5 million unfilled cybersecurity jobs across the globe, according to Cybersecurity Ventures. And the number of bad guys isn’t exactly decreasing, either. That’s why we need you, aspiring cybersecurity professionals.   

RSAC™ Conference is the world’s largest cybersecurity event and the meeting point for cybersecurity’s most accomplished innovators and experts. So, whether you’re a current student or recent 2024 graduate, our annual College Day is the place to explore this field, hear from the best, and gain insight into what’s next, who’s hiring, and even get your resume reviewed.
