The State Of Cybersecurity Innovation: RSA Conference 2024
In an arena of thousands of cybersecurity vendors, there is a decent share of incremental innovation and products that are features.

RSA Conference (RSAC) gives security startups two structured opportunities to distinguish themselves, and Forrester always finds it revealing to see which startups make the cut. In 2024, Aembit, Antimatter, Bedrock Security, Dropzone AI, Harmonic Security, Mitiga, P0 Security, RAD Security, Reality Defender, and VulnCheck competed in Innovation Sandbox. This was the first year that we can remember RSAC including an enterprise CISO in the judging panel of veteran VCs, vendor CTOs, and startup founders, and she was an excellent addition, asking the questions that prospective customers might. The winner: Reality Defender. The runner-up: Aembit. But wait — there is another friendly competition happening in the audience.
