That’s a wrap on the RSAC™ 2026 Conference. For its 35th edition, the conference drew the usual mix of security practitioners, researchers and vendors. Predictably, AI agents dominated much of the conversation – as a defensive capability, but more pressingly as a risk that many organizations have yet to fully think through.

Watch the video with ESET Chief Security Evangelist Tony Anscombe, who was on the ground all week, to learn more about what else was trending at this year’s edition of the event.

ESET had a record six talks at this year’s conference. If you caught any of them, or stopped by our booth, thank you and see you again next year!
