Today we begin a new and exciting chapter for RSAC. On April 28th, more than 40,000 cybersecurity security professionals from around the world will convene in San Francisco for RSAC™ Conference 2025. The event will be epic (check out the agenda). While RSAC™ Conference is the largest cybersecurity event in the world, there are millions of people in the cybersecurity community that still need the knowledge, connectivity, and collaboration that RSAC is dedicated to providing. How do we deliver the awesome power of the cybersecurity community to them, not just in April, but all year round? Today we launch a platform that carries the spirit of RSAC™ Conference throughout the year and expands RSAC beyond the physical bounds of a conference.
We've been working collaboratively with you, the community, over the past 18 months. Listening to your needs. You told us you wanted a central place where the community could gather all year round; where you could share and consume ideas; where you could learn; where you could find tools that would help you with your work every day. We’ve heard needs like: How do I stay informed in the fast-moving area of cybersecurity? How do I get educated and learn about new and emerging areas in cybersecurity? How can I get reliable answers for cybersecurity questions from trusted searches but with the ease of an LLM? How do I connect and calibrate with my peers? Our team has conducted hundreds of 1:1 sessions, participated in dozens of group discussions, and we’ve received an outpouring of feedback on our early alpha and beta versions.
Today I am excited to share that we have released the preview edition of our new membership platform. This is the first step on what will be a continuing journey with our community, building capabilities together that will benefit not just security professionals but society as a whole. I can't wait for you to try it. This membership platform will morph and evolve based on your needs. Thanks to so many of you who have helped shape this very first release; I'm excited to continue to build this platform together.
Finally, I want to thank you for what you do every single day to make the world safer. For those of you who will be at RSAC™ 2025 Conference just a month from now, I can't wait to see you in person. For those that won't be there, I look forward to being able to connect with you on the RSAC™ Membership Platform. Cybersecurity is a team sport; today the team got a little bit stronger.
