7 Sizzling Sessions to Check Out at RSA Conference 20237 Sizzling Sessions to Check Out at RSA Conference 2023

The RSA Conference (RSAC) is back again next week at the Moscone Center in San Francisco for its 2023 iteration, and, as usual, the event promises plenty of networking, over-the-top Expo Hall booths, and, crucially, education. But where to spend one's time (in between the sourdough sandwiches and nibbles of Ghirardelli, of course) is the real question.

The education agenda this year is a bit dizzying, offering 500-plus sessions, keynotes, and seminars, covering everything from hardware hacking and supply chain security, to advanced persistent threat (APT) research and malware analysis. Dark Reading editors have been talking to speakers and panelists for weeks, targeting some of the hotter topic areas, and identifying the latest trends.

Read on for a look at just some of our pregame coverage, including previews of interesting sessions on the dangers lurking in decommissioned network routers (hint: they're pretty scary), questioning how to evaluate the safety of artificial intelligence (AI) in the ChatGPT era (could any topic be hotter right now?), MITRE's rolling out of a framework for supply chain security, the Innovation Sandbox Awards, why criminals love extended Internet of Things (xIoT) devices so very, very much, and more.
