Jen Easterly, former CISA director and new CEO of RSAC, shares her views at RSAC 2026 on the convergence of AI and cybersecurity. She argues AI is not creating novel cyber risks but offers significant promise for writing more secure code, fixing flaws, and refactoring legacy systems at scale. She envisions a future where ransomware becomes a rare anomaly rather than a multi-trillion dollar industry. She also expresses hope that US federal agencies, which boycotted this year's conference, will return in coming years, emphasizing that cybersecurity is nonpartisan and trust is its most important currency.
