📊 Summary

Cross-talk synthesis, themes, trends analysis, and executive summaries from RSA Conference 2026.

Conference Analysis

Emerging Themes

Based on booth visits so far, two distinct themes are emerging:

AI & Data Security Convergence — Cyberhaven represents a new category: unified platforms that handle both AI security (LLM monitoring, prompt injection) AND data security (DLP, classification). This is a genuine market gap being filled.
Government-Backed Ecosystems — The Netherlands Pavilion shows how governments are treating cybersecurity as a full-spectrum priority, coordinating foreign affairs, defense, regional development, and commercial support together.

Emerging Trends

Unified Security Platforms — The market is moving toward platforms that solve multiple problems (AI + data) rather than point solutions
International Collaboration — Trade missions and government-backed delegations are becoming more sophisticated
AI Governance — Companies are actively looking for tools to govern LLM usage and protect sensitive data from AI exposure

Executive Summary

Day 1 Booth Insights:

Cyberhaven — "Genuinely impressive." A unified AI & data security platform that's ahead of the curve. Worth following up in 6-12 months as AI adoption accelerates.
Netherlands Pavilion — "Worth following up." Government-coordinated ecosystem with happy hour tonight (3/24). Good for international partnerships.

More content coming as talks and additional booth visits are documented.
