In the midst of doing video interviews with 10 different tech security vendors, Last Watchdog’s Byron Acohido met with MSLGROUP’s Tiffany Darmetko at RSA Conference 2014 to discuss the backdrop to the week-long event.
RSA was bigger and richer than ever. Big name vendors like Symantec, Fireeye, Microsoft and Kaspersky commanded giant exhibits in the north building of San Francisco’s Moscone Convention Center where, in years past, key note speeches and break out sessions were housed. Some of the vendors reportedly spent six-figures to rent and run exhibits. The south hall exhibit floor was just as packed as in years past, with all the other vendors. And Moscone’s west hall was used to house break out sessions.
