Top Three Security Themes at RSA Conference 2016 (Video)

BROOMFIELD, Colo., March 4, 2016 /PRNewswire/ — RSA is where the world gathers in San Francisco to talk security. Chris Richter, senior vice president of global security services at Level 3 Communications (LVLT) reveals the industry’s most pertinent themes at the 2016 conference. In the video, Richter touches on these topics:

1. Malware proliferation and the new deception detection technology he likens to “sandboxing on steroids.”
2. Security Costs are escalating. Organizations once spent about three percent of its IT budget on security; now that number is about eight times more. But money doesn’t create a silver bullet fix.
3. Cyber Education and the lack thereof. Humans remain the weakest link for every organization.
