cyber's big week + bringing the big suitcase

This week I'm breaking down one of the most important conferences in the tech world. RSAC 2026 is happening right now in San Francisco, and even if cybersecurity isn't your world yet, I think this one is worth your attention. We get into how a single room of cryptographers (the people who figured out how to keep your data private using math) in 1991 became a 40,000-person global institution, why AI has completely taken over the conversation this year, and the three trends that are going to be defining headlines for the next decade.

This is the patch:

• why RSAC is the one conference the whole industry actually pays attention to
• agentic AI: who owns it when no one does
• post-quantum cryptography and why the time to prepare is now, not later
• CTEM: the shift away from checking for threats every few weeks to having a live, always-on view of where you are exposed

We close with the lifestyle segment, and this one is for my listeners who are constantly on the move for work. I get into why I stopped bringing a carry-on and never looked back, why this Korean skincare product is my ultimate travel companion, and why a trench over a TNA butter set is the only airport outfit you will ever need.

All views expressed are my own.
