RSAC 2026 concluded last week in San Francisco, with Dohatec once again represented at this landmark event. Ms. Taslima and Mr. Masud attended on behalf of the organisation — continuing a proud tradition that spans a full decade. Dohatec has been sending cybersecurity experts to the RSA Conference for ten years, and each edition reinforces why this gathering remains indispensable for anyone serious about the future of digital security.
The Scale of the Event
RSAC 2026 was, by every measure, a monumental event. The numbers alone tell a compelling story:
- 43,500+ attendees
- 700+ speakers
- 570+ sessions
- 400+ media members
- 600+ exhibitors on the expo floor
- 32 keynote presentations
The conference’s reach extended far beyond the Moscone Center. Over 500 pieces of media content generated 370 million social impressions, with a potential readership audience of 820 million — a testament to how central RSAC has become to the global cybersecurity conversation.
Dohatec’s Participation
Ms. Taslima and Mr. Masud made the most of their time in San Francisco. The two representatives attended keynote presentations and track sessions, participated in seminars and networking events, explored the expansive expo floor, and engaged in a range of hands-on innovation experiences. RSAC is an event that brings together the very best minds from the US Government and the private sector, and the quality of exchange is unlike anything else in the field.
Key Themes and Takeaways
The overarching themes of RSAC 2026 were timely and urgent. Discussions centred on agentic AI and its implications for security, the evolving balance between offensive and defensive cyber capabilities, and the critical importance of resilience in an era of rapidly shifting threat landscapes.
Powerful presentations were delivered by some of the most respected names in the field — including NSA Directors who shared offensive cyber lessons learned; experts addressing multi-dimensional defence strategies in an era of escalating risks; and practitioners detailing the most dangerous current attack techniques alongside actionable advice for defenders.
One of the most striking moments came during a keynote from a senior UK official, who revealed that a cyberattack on a single company had measurably impacted the United Kingdom’s GDP. It served as a sobering reminder of the stakes involved — and a source of genuine professional pride for those working in cybersecurity. This domain matters, and the expertise that organisations like Dohatec bring to the field has never been more relevant.
Resources Available to Dohatec Personnel
Following the conference, a curated set of resources has been made available to the attendees. These include conference presentations enhanced with AI-powered summaries across the major cybersecurity disciplines covered at RSAC:
- AI Security
- Cloud Security
- Identity
- Application Security (AppSec)
Exclusive research reports on key industry trends were also shared, along with links to recordings and materials from sessions.
Looking Ahead
RSAC continues to be the defining forum where the world comes together to talk security. Last year, Ms. Nuzhat and Ms. Junu — both cyber specialists from Dohatec — represented the organisation. This year, Ms. Taslima and Mr. Masud carried that torch. The continuity of Dohatec’s presence at this conference reflects a sustained commitment to staying at the forefront of global cybersecurity developments and bringing those insights back to strengthen the team and its clients.
