The RSA Conference 2013 will run February 25 to March 1, 2013 — coincident with the Enterprise Trends in IT conference (EIT 13) in Bangalore. Find more info about EIT 13 here.

There is a common focus at both conferences. The RSA 2013 conference will focus, as will EIT 13, on cloud security, big data, virtualization, government compliance issues and data security. Cryptography will be a big issue this week at San Francisco’s Moscone Center, of course. And chief information security officers, Washington experts and various politerati will be speaking in sessions ranging from encryption to security defense and threat management.
