RSA Conference, known as RSAC Conference, is a series of global events and a year-round learning platform for the cybersecurity community. Founded in 1991 by Jim Bidzos as a small cryptography conference, it now serves as a marketplace for security technologies, education and thought leadership across the fields of cybersecurity, cryptography and information security.
Its flagship event, RSAC Conference, is described as the largest and most influential global gathering in the cybersecurity industry, drawing more than 43,000 participants annually. Practitioners, vendors, leaders, industry associations, media and analysts attend to address the full spectrum of security challenges, see the latest security technologies and take part in hands-on educational sessions. The organisation also runs a year-round learning platform of online and in-person programming intended to help security professionals advance in their roles and make their organisations more secure.
Events are held on four continents - North America, Europe, Asia and the Middle East - with a presence in the United States, Europe, Asia and the United Arab Emirates, in both in-person and online formats. Over more than 30 years of operation, its stated mission has been to help the cybersecurity industry mature and to prepare individuals to grow as defenders of the digital world, with programming that features influential thinkers and leaders in cybersecurity.
