What a busy, but amazing week at BSidesSF and RSA Conference!
Some highlights:
My BSidesSF Talk, "AI: Best Janitor or Worst Superhero" was a hit. Folks appreciated me pulling GenAI back down to earth and trying to reset expectations to something more realistic 😘
A glance at their YouTube account suggests they'll get videos uploaded in the near future. For now, here's the talk abstract. Hoping to get this talk accepted at more conferences, as it is continuing to evolve every time I give it (this is the 2nd time) https://lnkd.in/eKrgt8cf
My RSA talk, "Two Steps Forward for SaaS Adoption, One Step Back for Security" went much better than I anticipated (the topic was less exciting than what I normally speak about), but had several attendees tell me it was the best talk they saw at RSA 🤯
It is now available on demand, if you missed it: https://lnkd.in/eCNMPMUj
I was thrilled to get to help interview Mikko Hypponen along with Paul Asadoorian, Mandy Logan, CDT, CESSWI, QSP, and Bill Swearingen about his first ever RSA Keynote! https://lnkd.in/eYtuwK69
