As a security show, the RSA Conference leaves a lot to be desired. Its technical sessions carry an uncomfortable load of marketing baggage and don t have either the cachet or entertaining edge of those at Black Hat or CanSecWest. The real business of RSA is happening off the show floor in conference rooms and hotel suites and restaurants, where companies are doing business. The sour economy will be a hot topic of conversation at RSA, also, though looked at through the odd prism of IT security rather than economics or social policy.
