While the impact of generative AI was pervasive at RSA 2023, it was far from the only trend in evidence. Our analysts relate their impressions of data security and privacy, application security, identity, and cloud and SaaS security at RSA that capitalized on pervasive increases in security spending.
Information security managers are moving in multiple directions at once as funding for security continues to improve despite spending constraints elsewhere, and as project schedules get back on track following the disruptive rush to enable and secure remote work during the pandemic.
Enterprises are using a wide variety of security services and providers. While newer trends such as managed detection and response are making inroads, traditional managed security services remain strongest, while the need to secure cloud environments stands out as a major buying driver.
