RSAC 2026: Uncle Sam backs out, and AI agents are everywhere

(2026/03/23)


kettle When El Reg cybersecurity editor Jessica Lyons joins infosec industry colleagues in San Francisco for RSAC 2026 this week, she's expecting agentic AI to be on everyone's lips - at least those who aren't busy gossiping about the lack of presence from any representatives of the US federal government.

Join Jess and host Brandon Vigliarolo for this week's one-on-one episode of the Kettle, where we discuss the infosec industry priorities that are likely to be revealed at the yearly event, as well as other topics likely to be on people's minds.

Foreign attendees might be lacking as well.

No, my friend, the way to have good and safe government, is not to trust it
all to one, but to divide it among the many, distributing to every one exactly
the functions he is competent to. It is by dividing and subdividing these
republics from the national one down through all its subordinations, until it
ends in the administration of every man's farm by himself; by placing under
every one what his own eye may superintend, that all will be done for the best.
-- Thomas Jefferson, to Joseph Cabell, 1816
