With RSA Conference 2013 a month away, I couldn’t help but think of this as a dress rehearsal. Each year at RSA there tends to be one topic that overshadows the rest, an issue that dominates many a discussion. This year, it’s going to be Big Data security. I started to see the interest in Big Data at RSA last year, when I moderated a panel discussion on the pros and cons of it as a security enabler. I’ll admit that I understand the concepts around Big Data a lot more clearly since interviewing Zions CISO Preston Wood and Alex Hutton.”]
