RSAC 2023 Sees Big Moves From SentinelOne, CrowdStrike, Google Cloud, Accenture
Summary
The massive security industry conference in San Francisco — widely seen as the first full-throttle RSAC since the onset of the pandemic — prompted multiple announcements from SentinelOne, CrowdStrike, Google Cloud and Accenture. “And that’s where it becomes just immensely powerful.” SentinelOne had a third major announcement at RSAC 2023, as well, with the disclosure that early availability has begun for the company’s “exclusive” integration with Wiz, a fast-growing cloud security vendor that recently became the top-valued cybersecurity unicorn at $10 billion. Assaf Rappaport, co-founder and CEO of Wiz, told CRN that this type of tight integration between two widely deployed cybersecurity vendors can help meet the rising demand for tool consolidation from customers and partners. The IT consulting giant announced that it’s expanding its partnership with Google Cloud around cybersecurity, with the launch of new Managed Extended Detection and Response (XDR) service powered in part by the Security AI Workbench offering. “As we talk to clients about their next-generation network strategy, SASE and SD-WAN are super important,” said Ryan LaSalle, a senior managing director and North America lead for Accenture Security, during an interview at RSA Conference 2023.
