RSA Conference, San Francisco

This week brings the RSA Security Conference to San Francisco. It's one of the largest security shows for networking in the industry, and the exhibit hall opened up last night. As is common with all conferences lately, many of the talks are available on podcast, which means that if your organization didn't send anyone to RSA, you may have lots of listeners on your local area network, eating up the bandwidth to the internet.

The exhibit hall of course is filled with vendors that can help you solve that problem from blocking that content to allowing it, and only allowing one download to happen from the internet, caching that content, and delivering locally when requested by each additional requester. This year, RSA is touting 400 exhibitors, 240 sessions and a keynote by Michael Chertoff.

If you get the chance stop by and visit, even if you can't afford the conference pass, the exhibits are sure to provide lots of learning opportunities.
