Last week, the security world convened at the Moscone Center in San Francisco to unpack what’s trending in cybersecurity. Nearly 50,000 professionals joined together to delve deep into the pressure points impacting the industry today. From regulatory shifts to evolving nation-state threats and the reality of agentic AI, one thing is clear: cybersecurity professionals are facing unprecedented challenges, and the stakes have never been higher.

As the federal market continues to modernize its technology, it’s turning to public sector partners to do so. This has opened up new opportunities for technology vendors both big and small. 

Last week, members from Highwire’s cybersecurity practice touched down in D.C. On their agenda: attending both the Aspen Cyber Summit and POLITICO’s AI and Tech Summit to hear firsthand what government and private officials are focused on regarding the future of our national security and the cybersecurity risks around AI. 

When the United States government founded the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) in 2018, it marked a significant step toward combating digital threats. CISA's key initiatives, Secure By Design-Default and the Joint Defense Cyber Collaborative (JCDC), aim to improve national cybersecurity by fostering collaborations between the public and private sectors.

It’s a wrap on RSA 2023! We had a whirlwind of a week gaining new security insights, meeting with clients and reporters and networking with the largest community of cyber professionals. Given the valuable insight and connections Highwire team members gathered onsite (and virtually) we wanted to share a recap of key takeaways that can guide future communication initiatives.
