In the News: Wishing RSA Away

A strange title for a blog article. RSA is perhaps one of the more respected conference shows out there. The author of the linked blog is of course not wishing the conference away, but rather the need for the conference to go away. To think that we don't need any security on our networks, that everyone is well behaved, or that all of our network devices handle problems without our intervention, seems, well, like a fantasy. The point of course being that it is unlikely that the need for RSA will go away anytime soon.

But the author does point to the fact that many vendors continue to make strides in addressing threats and vulnerabilities, so it's always a good idea to look around and make sure your vendor has the latest and/or the best protection for your needs. And remember to look past the hype, and look for concrete features that have a purpose, and a benefit that can be demonstrated.
