Editor's note
The RSAC 2026 Conference theme was "The Power of Community." In a tech landscape where the letters A and I are inescapable, this year's RSAC homed in on the importance of people in cybersecurity -- namely, their ability to forge relationships, collaborate strategically and create a unified front to protect an ever-expanding attack surface from a barrage of threats, vulnerabilities and attacks.
What better place for CISOs and security professionals to gather as a community than at the world's premier cybersecurity conference, along with 44,000 of their peers?
Now in its 35th year, RSAC was held March 23-26, 2026, at the Moscone Center in San Francisco. With 700-plus vendors, 500-plus sessions across 25-plus tracks, and more than 600 exhibitors and vendors on the RSAC Expo Floor, RSAC 2026 was the place for security pros to coordinate efforts, share information and learn from one another.
Informa TechTarget's editorial team was on-site, reporting from the conference floor. This guide gathers articles from SearchSecurity, Dark Reading and Cybersecurity Dive on the cybersecurity industry's biggest show.
