WOW!!!! check this out GDPR biggest thing at RSA this year:

You can’t hide from this top trend at RSA Conference, no matter where you operate:


Every year, there are certain buzzwords and trends that rise to popularity within the technology community. In years prior, it’s been things like “cloud,” “bitcoin,” or “IoT,” that set the trend. So it’s no surprise when those words fill the agenda at major events like RSA Conference. Leaving us to wonder what the trending topics will be at RSAC 2018, taking place April 16-20 in San Francisco.

But, lucky for us, that’s exactly what one of the RSA Conference Advisory Board members was determined to figure out. Wade Baker, RSAC Advisory Board Member, Partner at Cyentia Institute and Professor at Virginia Tech, analyzed approximately 15,000 RSA Conference Call for Paper submissions over the last decade (2009-2018). Using a combination of Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques and a classification system developed for the Cyentia Research Library, Baker was able to extract the “most important” terms among those thousands of CFPs.

RSA Conference 2018 top trend

He then looked at what trends will emerge in 2018, and (surprise, surprise), his research indicates we should all get ready to hear about GDPR and compliance.

If you haven’t heard already, the upcoming GDPR directive will specify how personal data for those in the EU is handled and what dictates privacy regulations moving forward. Once enacted in May 2018, this will be the largest privacy mandate in history and will dictate the way business is fundamentally performed.
