What really happened at RSA 2024?
Daniel Miessler and Jason Haddix break it down.
Fresh off a whirlwind RSA week, Daniel sits down with Jason Haddix (Arcanum Information Security) to talk about what mattered—beyond the show floor noise. From off-site innovation summits to real-world AI implementation, this deep dive covers:
-Where the real innovation happened (hint: not on the show floor)
-Key takeaways from the OpenAI and Airbnb AI Security events
-Jason’s talk on AI pentesting methodology and the Prompt Injection Taxonomy
-The future of cybersecurity moats and the risk of AI-native disruption
-Why agents aren’t the main character—data is -DARPA's AIxCC competition and the rise of Cyber Reasoning Systems
-Challenges with evals, autonomous security workflows, and VDP backlash -Behind the scenes at RSA: puppies, parties, burnout, and brutal honesty
They also explore content creation, the future of platform-native context, and why being opinionated (with receipts) matters more than ever in security and tech.
