To kick off the RSAC 2024 Innovation Sandbox Contest, Hugh Thompson, Program Committee Chair, RSA Conference, chats with the 2023 winner Chris Sestito, Co-founder and CEO, HiddenLayer.
Each year, RSA Conference invites cybersecurity’s boldest new innovators to compete in RSAC Innovation Sandbox, a contest that puts the spotlight on startups with potentially game-changing ideas. A judging panel comprised of industry veterans with diverse perspectives is challenged with reviewing submissions from amazing startups. Ten Finalists are then selected to pitch their ideas in-person at RSA Conference. The Finalists are given three-minutes to share their groundbreaking products and solutions to this same panel of judges on stage. RSAC Innovation Sandbox has crowned 18 companies over the years. Since the start of the contest, the Top 10 Finalists have collectively seen over 80 acquisitions and $13.5 billion in investments.
