Non-Human Identity

RSAC 2026 opens today at the Moscone Center in San Francisco. I’m not there in person this year, but I’ve spent the past week tracking every pre-conference announcement, keynote preview, and vendor press release. There’s a lot to take in, so here’s my attempt to highlight what’s most relevant for practitioners this week. The conference covers a wide range of ground this year. Post-quantum cryptography, supply chain security, social engineering, cloud security, governance under the EU AI Act, workforce burnout, and even vibe coding as an emerging security risk all have dedicated sessions and tracks. RSAC themselves identified seven key trends from this year’s submissions: MCP, agentic AI, vibe coding, identity, governance, addressing burnout, and the power of partnerships.
