The 2023 RSA conference is heavily focused on AI's intersection with cybersecurity. Quantum computing evangelists believe that advances in AI and other areas, combined with the improvement of machine learning processing algorithms and neural networks, make this an opportune time to use AI to address cybersecurity threats.

The 2023 RSA conference is very heavy on AI, with dozens of sessions focused on the intersection of AI and cybersecurity. Quantum computing evangelists believe that AI and cybersecurity are the future. The country that takes the lead in quantum information systems will have technological and economic advantages over the rest of the world for the next half century. Quantum computing evangelists have already shared their concerns that the United States is falling behind in this race. Advances in other areas may have put AI center stage today, such as unlimited capacity via the cloud, massive processing power with a virtually unlimited supply, and technologies like Snowflake and Databricks that enable developers to create secure data lakes that contain structured and unstructured data. These advances, combined with the improvement of machine learning processing algorithms and neural networks, make this an opportune time to use AI to address cybersecurity threats. Several vendors highlighted AI at the 2023 RSA Conference. Armorblox launched a language-based threat protection product for email that incorporates ML, LLMs, and user behavior analysis to detect and prevent malicious emails. Cisco introduced an extended detection and response (XDR) offering that uses evidence-based automation, AI, and machine learning to simplify security operations across platforms and quickly detect advanced cyber threats. Abnormal Security rolled out three new AI-imbued capabilities to its email security platform. Data protection vendor NextDLP enhanced its Reveal platform by adding ChatGPT visibility, policy templates, and adaptive controls. In conclusion, quantum computing evangelists believe that AI and cybersecurity are the future. The advancements in AI and other areas, along with the improvement of machine learning processing algorithms and neural networks, make this an opportune time to use AI to address cybersecurity threats. With the country that takes the lead in quantum information systems having technological and economic advantages over the rest of the world for the next half century, it is essential to invest in the development of these systems to ensure that the United States remains competitive in this race.
