RSAC™ 2025 Conference Exhibitor Quote and ISB 20th Anniversary Quote:

"RSAC Conference was truly impressive this year—bigger, more dynamic, and more impactful than ever. It gave us a valuable platform to share how exposure management is helping organizations confront today's real-world cybersecurity risks. We had a record number of meetings and thoughtful conversations with customers, partners, and peers across the industry. It was also a meaningful time to honor the legacy of our late CEO, Amit Yoran, and to reconnect with the broader security community. We look forward to coming back strong yet again in 2026."

- Meg O'Leary, Chief Marketing Officer, Tenable

"We participated in the RSAC™ Innovation Sandbox contest in 2018, and it changed the course of the company. There was a before and there was an after. It propelled us with visibility and credibility with funding coming alongside that. Winning ISB provided us with the fuel to grow the company, acquire new customers and eventually become a unicorn and a centaur. We didn't expect to win but it certainly made a big difference in the history of our company. It was an incredible experience and incredible opportunity for BigID and it's been exciting to watch the growth of the contest and the community."

- Dimitri Sirota, CEO, BigID
