RSAC Security Scholar Ignites Professional Growth

Our mission at RSA Conference is to provide programs like RSAC Security Scholar that help ensure cybersecurity practitioners around the world get the intel and knowledge they need to spur professional growth and protect their organizations from cyberthreats.

What is RSAC Security Scholar?

At RSA Conference, we like to surround ourselves with all kinds of brilliant people—including the next generation of cybersecurity professionals. Through carefully curated experiences, RSAC Security Scholar connects the hand-selected brightest up-and-coming cybersecurity students to thought leaders, industry luminaries, peers and conference attendees. The goal is to share knowledge, experience and connections to enrich the discourse on how to stay ahead of cyberthreats.

During the week, scholars:

  • Participate in a team-building exercise and a casual dinner with their fellow scholars
  • Enjoy reserved seating at the opening keynote
  • Listen to speakers from across the globe discuss trends and insights
  • Network on the RSAC Expo floor with over 300 companies 
  • Attend an invitation-only dinner with leading experts in the field
  • Connect and network with program sponsors 
  • Join in all RSAC College Day activities
  • Learning Labs and Birds of a Feather are not open to RSAC College Day Pass holders or RSAC Security Scholars.

Scholars have the chance to share their own insights and research at the RSAC Security Scholar poster board exhibition.
