RSA Conference 2020 APJ has just completed. A first-time, all-virtual, free, global event for RSAC.

Linda Gray Martin, VP and General Manager of RSA Conference, and Britta Glade, Director of Content and Curation for RSA Conference join us to tell the story of what happened when faced with what to do when a global conference must adapt to the realities of a global pandemic. Together they explain the changing face of virtual events; the process by which they curated the program, content, and attendee experience; offer a glimpse into a potential 'hybrid' experience for RSA Conference 2021 in San Francisco.

There's also an inside glimpse into their collaboration with the immortal George Takei, who shared his contagiously positive outlook on both the opening and closing of this year's event.

Maintaining compliance while your organization experiences sudden and unanticipated change can be daunting. In this episode we chat with RSA's Marshall Toburen, RSA Risk Management Strategist, who brings decades of experience in compliance leadership. We discuss the strategies that organizations have employed over the past several months, and Marshall discusses "applying risk techniques to compliance itself" (or what you should do when you can't fully satisfy all your obligations).

You may not believe the data, credentials, images, location data, proprietary communications, etc. that security conference attendees (and some exhibitors) expose to anyone who'd think to look. In this episode we discuss some eye-popping findings gleaned from the RSA Conference 2020 public wifi network.

Workforce Disruption: we're wrapping up our series on the disruptions resulting from rapid acceleration of digital transformation. In this episode we welcome RSA's Brian Breton, VP for Channel Sales and Operations and Tony Karam, Digital Risk Strategist at RSA. We discuss the myriad of challenges that workforce disruption has brought to security and risk managers; and we look at how RSA and our partners were able to respond to a dramatic spike in demand for identity solutions earlier this year.

In this episode we welcome Patrick Potter, RSA Digital Risk Strategist, to discuss resiliency amid acute business disruption. How have business operations functions kept ahead of the title waves of change and disruption? Patrick shares recent stories and timely insights; drawing on his extraordinary experience leading resiliency practices for global finance, hospitality, and transportation brands. Today, in addition to helping guide RSA's solutions marketing function, he works with top customers to help refine and mature their resiliency and compliance strategies.

Continuing our series on the disruptions resulting from rapid digital acceleration, we chatted with Chris Patteson, Executive Director for RSA's Risk Transformation Office and Emily Shipman, Sr. Product Marketing Manager for Third-Party Risk Management. Exploring some of the recent challenges in both physical and digital supply chains, Chris and Emily discuss how organizations that have embraced Third-Party Risk Management principles are discovering greater opportunities for success, even amid uncertainty.

Security is first among the four crisis disruptions that we’ll explore in-depth. Peter Beardmore welcomes Ben Smith, RSA Field CTO to discuss the challenges that security operations leaders and their teams have encountered in recent months. Threat, detection, process, workflows, and automation are all on the agenda. Ben breaks-down how successful SecOps teams have managed to stay ahead, despite the inconveniences (to put it mildly) of working entirely remote.

Operating in a global pandemic has led many organizations to rapid digital acceleration in some areas, and re-prioritization in nearly all. In the first episode of our new season, Peter Beardmore welcomes RSA Portfolio Strategist, Steve Schlarman to discuss the many disruptions that the ongoing crisis caused. In particular the reverberating disruptions in business operations, workforce, supply chain, and security. How does rapid acceleration and reliance on digital lead to new and downstream risks? And how should risk and security leaders think about managing, communicating, and accounting for these risks amid continuous change? Steve brings unique insights to emerging challenges, coming from two decades of digital risk management experience.
