Resilience Is the Destination, Innovation Is the Path | An RSAC Conference 2025 Conversation | On Location Coverage with Sean Martin and Marco Ciappelli

In this closing update for the day from the RSAC conference show floor, Sean Martin and Marco Ciappelli reflect on the energy, conversations, and technology shaping cybersecurity today—and what’s coming next. With dozens of interviews under their belts, the duo shares what’s standing out across sessions and show-floor discussions.

Resilience has become a key destination, with innovation—especially around AI and quantum technologies—paving the way forward. Conversations touch on how security leaders are adjusting to new threat models, merging traditional disciplines like AppSec and DevSecOps with emerging areas such as vibe coding and container security. There’s a clear sense that the dialogue has shifted: zero trust isn’t just a topic; it’s embedded across many conversations. AI is no longer speculative—it’s embedded in discussions about GRC, automation, and security architecture.

Sean brings a technical and operational lens, while Marco plans to explore the societal implications in future conversations—something noticeably less discussed this year, but still deeply relevant. With more content being edited and released over the next few days, the team invites listeners to stay tuned for articles, panels, and post-conference reflections.

From San Francisco to London, Vegas, and maybe even Australia—this conversation is just getting started.
