This year’s RSA Conference, which was held Feb. 13-17 in San Francisco, saw more than 43,000 attendees show up to listen to speakers and to learn from vendors about the latest security trends, products and services. Among the annual traditions at the RSA Conference is the Cryptographers Panel, which includes Ron Rivest (the \u00ab\u00a0R\u00a0\u00bb in RSA) and Adi Shamir (the \u00ab\u00a0S\u00a0\u00bb in RSA). The cryptographers are not particularly enthusiastic about the modern state of security, with Shamir claiming that the internet as we know it is broken. Also at the conference, former U. S. National Security Agency (NSA) chief Gen. Keith Alexander talked about how the cloud can help enable a common defense for organizations of all sizes. Meanwhile at a VIP event at the RSA Conference, Michael Dell, CEO of Dell Technologies, spoke about new innovations from RSA as well his company’s broader approach to securing IT assets and information. And at a number of sessions at the conference, Google detailed its approaches to both Android and Gmail security.
