The cybersecurity world descended on San Francisco's Moscone Center this week for RSAC 2026, the 35th annual flagship event – and the numbers alone tell you this is no niche gathering. Around 43,500 attendees, 700 speakers, 600 exhibitors, and 400 members of the media converged on the conference, which spans multiple stages and countless hands-on experiences.
