IT Security & Network Security News & Reviews: RSA Conference 11 Products to Watch

By Cameron Sturdevant on 2011-02-14


There are more than 450 expo vendors showing wares or hawking programs at the 20th annual RSA Conference now underway in San Francisco. In the weeks leading up to the conference talked with nearly 25 vendors about the announcements they are making today. From military grade USB thumb drive encryption to astoundingly inexpensive two-factor tokens to cloud security offerings I’ve assembled an RSA Conference kick-off overview. The bottom line is that all of the old standbys ranging from hard drive encryption to SSL termination are still very much alive and kicking. What’s also clear is that cloud security—and technologies that make it easier to securely use outside infrastructure for workloads once thought too sensitive or regulated to take off premise—are entering the stage. I’ll be scanning the expo floor and ranging through the conference sessions to sniff out the useful information that IT managers need to make savvy decisions about how to secure the business for growth and productivity.
