The article provides a curated guide to the RSAC 2026 conference (formerly RSA Conference), highlighting its growth to over 650 events with a significant focus on AI. Red Canary analysts have filtered the massive agenda to identify a dozen essential sessions for full conference passholders, aiming to separate technical signal from promotional noise in an increasingly crowded event schedule.
Key highlights include discussions on the evolution of the cyber workforce, AI-driven threat modeling, and the impact of infostealers on the modern kill chain. Other recommended sessions cover practical applications of generative AI in security operations, identity management during incident response, and rethinking vulnerability backlogs through real-world risk assessment rather than relying solely on CVSS scores.
