The RSA Conference in San Francisco this year is notably missing the NSA's 'State of the Hack' panel, a popular event typically filled to capacity. The cancellation was informed to attendees earlier this month and was followed by the withdrawal of NSA Director Dave Luber from scheduled media appearances. Historically, federal cyber officials have played a significant role in RSAC, but this year saw a marked absence, with only a limited presence from agencies like CISA and increased participation from the FBI, raising concerns over the future of government-cybersecurity collaboration.
The NSA's popular 'State of the Hack' panel at this year's RSA Conference was suddenly canceled, with the agency citing new leadership guidance as the reason.
With a significant absence of key federal cyber officials, the RSA Conference has seen a stark reduction in government presence compared to previous years, raising concerns.
While federal agencies like the FBI maintained some presence, CISA's communication was limited to a single panel appearance, reflecting the agency's decreased visibility.
The NSA's absence from speaking engagements raises questions about the agency's current approach to public outreach and engagement with the cybersecurity community.
