Tony Anscombe has attended RSA Conference since 1998 -- back when it was held at the Fairmont Hotel. That long view informs everything about how ESET approaches threat intelligence. It is not about volume. It is about accuracy, speed, and putting the right signal in front of the right team at the right moment.

The ESET eCrime Ecosystem Report comes in two forms: a business-facing summary outlining current risks for leadership, and a long-form technical report for analysts -- complete with IOCs, coding examples, and structured intelligence feeds covering ransomware, crypto scams, malicious email attachments, and infostealer data. These feeds are built to plug directly into SOC workflows and firewall rules, not to create more work for already stretched teams.

Tony Anscombe is direct about the quality problem in threat intelligence. Open-source feeds sound appealing -- until you factor in the analyst hours required to clean out the noise. By then, the intelligence is stale. Attacks circle the globe in hours. Near-real-time, verified intelligence is not a premium -- it is the baseline requirement.

The threat detection conversation has also moved well past malware. Anscombe walks through how modern attackers often skip the payload entirely -- credential theft gets them in, then slow lateral movement and data exfiltration follow, with ransomware as the final act rather than the first signal. ESET's platform focuses on behavioral anomaly detection across the full environment, with on-site, cloud, and managed deployment options for organizations that cannot or will not go all-in on cloud architecture.

At RSAC Conference 2026, ESET will be at booth 5253 in Moscone North. Anscombe has two sessions on the Wednesday agenda: one on supply chain blind spots -- urging security teams to engage directly with the business side to map third-party risk fully -- and a community rant session tackling four things that need to change in cybersecurity, including the cryptocurrency regulation debate. On AI, his message is measured: the real conversation at the show is not about using AI -- it is about securing it.

Backup storage rarely gets a spotlight at security conferences. Object First is working to change that. Anthony Cusimano, Director of Solutions Marketing, joined Sean Martin and Marco Ciappelli ahead of RSAC Conference 2026 to make the case that absolute immutability -- baked into hardware, not bolted on as a feature -- is one of the most critical layers of any modern security stack.

Object First builds physical, on-premises appliances purpose-built for Veeam. Once backup data lands on the device, it cannot be changed by anyone: not an admin, not the vendor, not an attacker. That guarantee is the foundation of the company's entire product philosophy. As Anthony Cusimano puts it, the threat is clear -- ransomware operators now specifically target backups because destroying that data eliminates the victim's options.

Heading into RSAC Conference 2026, Object First is bringing new capabilities to South Hall Booth S3601. Demos will include Honeypot, a feature that causes the Object First appliance to simulate a Veeam backup and replication server as a decoy. If a bad actor attempts brute-force access or a remote desktop connection, an alert fires immediately -- a signal that your real Veeam environment is likely also being probed.
