"Top Trump administration cyber officials are in discussions to cancel their attendance at the RSAC Conference taking place in San Francisco in March after a top Biden-era cyber leader was named CEO of the event, according to multiple former officials and other people with knowledge of the matter."
"Officials in the White House Office of the National Cyber Director, National Security Council and Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency discussed potential plans to no longer attend after Jen Easterly, the former CISA director under President Joe Biden, was named CEO of the RSAC Conference on Thursday, said the former officials and the people."
"The RSAC Conference is one of the world's largest cybersecurity forums, and has long been hailed as a convening hub for cybersecurity officials and private sector firms vying for business with the government. It also brings together many international cyber officials who frequently meet behind the scenes with American counterparts to discuss overseas cybersecurity matters."
