CIS Controls v8 at (Virtual) RSA Conference 2021!
The Center for Internet Security (CIS) is excited to be part of RSA Conference 2021 – the world’s leading information security conference and exposition. In fact, we’ll be launching CIS Controls Version 8 during the conference, and there are many opportunities to learn more about the updates.
Due to the ongoing pandemic, this year’s RSA Conference (RSAC) 2021 will be a fully virtual experience. The main event is May 17-20, and there are a number of related sessions that will be held in advance. We hope to see you there!
RSA Conference – Where the World Talks Security
RSAC began 30 years ago as a user conference for customers of RSA – the computer and network security company. The first conference consisted of just one panel discussion. In the ensuing decades, RSAC has grown into a series of events held around the world, annually attracting approximately 50,000 attendees. It’s “where the world talks security.”
At this year’s virtual conference, you can expect more than 200 traditional sessions, 24 informative tracks, 19 keynotes, and 90 digital expo sponsors. It’s a great way to keep up-to-date with cybersecurity news and trends!
