I'm with Mike Rothman: no hi def dvd, no tweet, and I don't see any innovation (at scale) in security
What you won't see: Innovation So what? - I remember distinctly leaving RSA 2007 and reflecting on the fact that there really wasn't a lot of innovation. Security had become an industry. Probably pretty slow growth and not a lot of innovation. I expect the same this year. Everyone will be trying to paint their latest widget as new and exciting, but the reality is we are moving the boxes around. Maybe a little faster, maybe a little incrementally better - but it does feel a bit like moving deck chairs around on the Titanic. The bad guys are the iceberg and we keep talking about how our ships cannot be sunk. It is what it is, but at least we can acknowledge it. It's been quite a while since something really innovative has made waves at an RSA conference. And sadly enough, it may be quite a while until we see that again.
It is amazing to me that unlike other areas of computer technology, that infosec has grown so large *without* almost any innovation (at scale) it really is moving boxes around.
