RSAC™ Innovation Sandbox Celebrates 20 Years.
RSAC™ Conference has been a catalyst for innovation in the cybersecurity community for the past 20 years, providing a premier platform for top innovators to showcase their revolutionary ideas through the RSAC™ Innovation Sandbox contest. The contest shines a spotlight on startups with potentially groundbreaking solutions, challenging a panel of leading industry veterans to evaluate their submissions. After multiple rounds of assessment, the judges narrow down the field to the Top Ten Finalists who pitch their ideas live at RSAC™ Conference.
Each Finalist has three minutes to present how their company’s unique approach to solving one of the industry’s complex problems will make the greatest impact on the cybersecurity industry.
