Along with 44,000 other in-person attendees, ABI Research attended RSAC 2025 from April 28 to May 1. In line with its 2025 rebranding from RSA to RSAC, this year’s conference was focused on community, with Hugh Thompson’s opening keynote emphasizing the importance of coordination and collaboration across the cybersecurity community when tackling the consistent stream of new and emerging threats, as well as the evolution of known and established attack vectors. Content, connection, culture, and conversation are the four “Cs” now central to both the RSAC brand and to the cybersecurity community at large. By combining our in-depth conversations with vendors, tracking session attendance, and touring the exhibition booths at RSAC 2025, we have compiled a list of the top six cybersecurity trends we expect to cause the most disruption in the market in the next year.

Industry leaders, cybersecurity experts, and innovators in digital security will converge again at RSAC, the world’s largest cybersecurity conference, at the end of April. With over 600 exhibitors attending and more than 550 sessions planned, ABI Research has picked out 5 of the top digital security trends to watch out for at RSAC 2025.

After years of vigorous development, the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) published four official Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) algorithms in August 2024. These algorithms are rapidly transforming the cybersecurity industry as organizations must address the unprecedented prospective threat posed by cryptographically relevant quantum computers. ABI Research has previously covered how the Hardware Security Module (HSM) market is leveraging PQC algorithms, but another important market worth examining is Public Key Infrastructure (PKI).
