The Complete Guide to Illumio at RSAC Conference 2026

RSAC is back March 23–26! Make Illumio your first stop at Booth N-5670 at San Francisco’s Moscone Center.

We’re bringing hands-on demos, executive conversations, and speaking sessions focused on the most important layer of cybersecurity: breach containment.

Here’s everything you need to know about Illumio at RSAC Conference 2026.

What to expect from Illumio

Come join us at Booth N-5670 in the North Expo of the Moscone Center.

Here is what to expect when you stop by:

• Live demos of Illumio Insights und Illumio Segmentation. See AI-driven threat detection, real-time observability, and single-click breach containment across hybrid multi-cloud environments. ‍
• Eight demo stations and an in-booth theater. Watch breaches unfold, see how attackers move laterally, and learn how Zero Trust segmentation changes the outcome. ‍
• Real conversations with Illumio experts. Talk directly with engineers, architects, and security leaders about what works, what does not, and how teams are applying Zero Trust in practice. Request a meeting with our team today. ‍
• The Illumio Pub Crawl on Wednesday at 4:30–6:00 PM. Stop by the booth, grab a refreshment, and have a conversation with peers about the state of security today.

Join us for 4 RSAC speaking sessions

Join Illumio across four RSAC sessions focused on Zero Trust, breach containment, and the realities shaping modern security.

Beyond Resilience: Building Anti-Fragile Cyber Systems

Resilience assumes systems will bounce back after stress. Anti-fragility assumes they learn, adapt, and improve because of it.

Join John Kindervag, chief evangelist at Illumio, alongside Anthony Rodriguez, AVP of application security engineering and threat management at CVS Health, on Monday, March 23 at 10:50–11:40 AM at the Moscone South Esplanade.

In this session, John reframes resilience through the lens of Zero Trust, while Anthony shares how CVS Health uses segmentation and dependency mapping to expose risk faster, troubleshoot incidents more efficiently, and measure progress in ways that actually matter.

Attendees can expect concrete steps, practical metrics, and a clear path beyond simply hoping systems hold when pressure hits.

Modernizing OT Security Without Disruption: A Zero Trust Approach

As IT and OT environments collide, attackers don’t see boundaries, but legacy security models do.

On Tuesday, March 24 at 1:15–2:05 PM in the Moscone South Esplanade, John Kindervag will join Ofir Arkin, senior distinguished architect at NVIDIA.

They’ll discuss how to apply Zero Trust consistently across IT and OT using protect surfaces, deep visibility, and AI-driven security enables modernization without ripping and replacing critical systems.  

If you care about resilience, safety, and standards alignment in industrial environments, this one is a must-see.

Fear, Hype, and Reality: What’s Really Breaking Cybersecurity

This interactive roundtable with John Kindervag on Thursday, March 26 at 10:50–11:40 AM in the Moscone Center cuts through the noise.

AI hype, tool sprawl, fear-driven budgets: they dominate the conversation. But they don’t always deliver resilience. John leads a candid discussion on what actually works, what doesn’t, and which uncomfortable truths the industry keeps avoiding.  

Did Cyber Insurance Create Ransomware?

How does Victorian-era life insurance relate to modern-day cybersecurity?  

Join John Kindervag on Thursday, March 26 at 12:20–1:10 PM in the Moscone Center as he explores how cyber insurance payouts unintentionally fueled ransomware’s growth and how Zero Trust and segmentation can help realign incentives.  

The goal isn’t eliminating cyber insurance. It’s shrinking the blast radius so payouts drop and attackers lose their economic advantage.
