VMware is excited to sponsor RSA Conference 2021, one of the year’s largest security events offering hundreds of immersive sessions and ways to collaborate with peers. The theme of this year’s conference, held virtually from May 17-20, is Resilience.
At VMware, attaining and sustaining resiliency is in our DNA. In fact, it’s one of the pillars of VMware’s core values and we’re thrilled to see this incredibly important topic drive the focus of RSAC 2021 as well.
If you’re heading to RSAC 2021, be sure to check out the following VMware sessions:

Enemy Inside the Gates: Securing the New Battleground
Every breach reminds us that no matter the perimeter defense, attackers will find a way through—leveraging vulnerabilities and compromising apps and data. As risks continue to multiply, relying on traditional perimeter defenses is not enough. In this session, presenters will discuss a more modern approach to distributed security—easy, automated, intrinsic— that spans edge, private and public cloud.
Presenters:
- Tom Gillis, SVP/GM of the Networking and Security Business Unit at VMware
- Christopher Kruegel, VP of Security Services at the Networking and Security Business Unit at VMware
Monday, May 17th, 3:30-4:10 PM PST – Session ID BOF4-M19
SASE: Separating Fact from Fiction
Secure access service edge (SASE) is all the rage right now, yet there are a lot of different interpretations floating around about what SASE is and what it is not. We will exchange ideas with experts who are evaluating SASE or have real world experience working through what SASE actually means and how it’s applied.
Presenter:
- Tim Van Herck, Director of Technical Product Management at VMware
Tuesday, May 18th, 10:05 AM PST – Session ID SPO2-T08

As predicted in last year’s 3.0 report, bank heists are transitioning to hostage situations.
