The 2017 RSA Conference is set to launch this week in San Francisco. What is true? The state of asymmetric warfare across the globe is pervasive and nation states have been negotiating new rules of the game.
As you descend into the keynote sessions, absorb the content from your favorite track or walk the overwhelmed Expo halls, pause for a moment. Stop, look around and look at what you see. The ICT (Information, Communications & Technology) ecosystem is no longer a vertical.
The horizontal intrusion of smart devices, IoT and the rapid mobility sensor markets have created a juggernaut ecosystem. The startup communities across just the United States landscape have entrepreneurs sharing and automating parts of your daily life once thought unthinkable.
The Techstars of the next generation of commerce, understand the platform better than ever. Meanwhile, the same ambitious individuals with so much creativity are simultaneously in a battle for funding and market share.
It is a new generation of inventions that are AI-driven by Voice Recognition that are becoming the foundation for getting the information we need now; this second, not in a few minutes or even an hour from now. We want it now and we trust that it will be true.
There are some major themes that you will see and pick-up on while attending RSA this year. Some established companies with a tenured legacy in the industry are even making a pivot. Look for how they are starting to craft the new narratives that will consume the marketing airwaves.
Expect plenty of talk about the ongoing ransomware scourge and threats against the Internet of Things (IoT) during RSA Conference 2017, which begins a week from today at the Moscone Center in San Francisco.
The conference will include 15 keynotes, including talks by RSA CTO Zulfikar Ramzan, Microsoft president Brad Smith, and Alphabet CEO Eric Schmidt. The popular cryptographers’ panel will feature Whitfield Diffie (of Diffie-Hellman-Merkle), Ronald Rivest and Adi Shamir (the R and S in RSA encryption), and Susan Landau (creator of Landau’s Algorithm). Paul Kocher, who figured out timing attacks against various RSA and DHM implementations, will moderate the panel.
With this in mind, now start to realize the places that have been behind the innovation curve. The small and even mega markets, that have been slow to invent or work in such austere environments the tech has not reached it yet. Start your new journey into these places to see how you can contribute, how you will be able to make a difference:
The Defense Innovation Initiative (DII)
Exploring Ideas to Better Identify the “Art of the Possible” for National Security
The Defense Innovation Initiative (DII) is a Department-wide initiative to pursue innovative ways to sustain and advance the capabilities of the “force of the future.” The U.S. changed the security landscape in the 1970s and 1980s with networked precision strike, stealth and surveillance for conventional forces. Through the DII, the Department will identify a third offset strategy that puts the competitive advantage firmly in the hands of American power projection over the coming decades.
The future of RSA and our way of life for our interconnected nations, economies and daily consumption of the truth is at stake. We do have the ability to better cooperate, collaborate and communicate our paths forward. Yet it begins with a conversation in person, face-to-face to establish the emotional and behavioral ties to trustworthiness.
Have a wonderful week in San Francisco...
