RSA Conference 2025: News And Analysis

The RSA Conference returns to San Francisco from April 28 to May 1, with tens of thousands descending on the Moscone Center to discuss — and debate — the latest developments and new trends in the world of cybersecurity.

Many of the top vendors and solution providers in the security industry will be present, and that means plenty of news. CRN will be on hand to interview C-level executives from vendors and partner companies, scope out the newest products and find out what’s on the minds of cybersecurity experts.

RSAC 2025 is expected to continue the focus on AI from the conferences of prior years, but with a new emphasis this time on the emergence of agentic capabilities. Along with GenAI and AI agents, other key topics will include the evolution of security operations; protection against intensifying attacks targeting the cloud and email inboxes; the ongoing push for consolidation and “platformization”; and the uncertain economic outlook.
