RSA Sandbox 2009
RSA Conference 2009 has a particular feature I am especially interested in attending, the Innovation Sandbox. On Monday, April 20, the Sandbox will provide vendors that aren’t necessarily exhibiting with an opportunity to demonstrate their products during a half-day session. To me, breakthroughs in technology are the most exciting feature of my job, one of the reasons I’ve enjoyed it so much is I have had the opportunity to help cutting edge startups introduce their products to market. I can’t help but wonder, at a place like the Sandbox will we see the next ISS emerge, will the cloud shake hands with security once and for all, will the coolest new PCI solution be introduced?
According to RSA, Innovation Sandbox highlights include:
- Demonstrations from information security’s new rising stars, including start-ups and early-stage companies
- “Most Innovative Company at RSA Conference 2009″ contest, judged by a panel of industry experts and thought leaders
- “Whisper suites” showcasing new R&D breakthroughs from industry-leading companies
- Interactive whiteboard sessions focused on tomorrow’s security challenges, facilitated by renowned information security experts Hugh Thompson (Chief Security Strategist at People Security) and Paul Kocher (President and Chief Scientist, Cryptography Research)
It sounds like a coo place to be, hope to run into some of you there.

Joe,
I wonder just how many paradigm shifts will be introduced in the allotted 3 minutes? We couldn’t even scratch the surface in 3 minutes.
Besides, since Art Coviello showed his true colors when I questioned him on the role of start-ups and innovation at a key note address when he said they are just too small to influence real change, meaning they are worthy only as snap-up fodder.
