A Brand Story from the Road to #RSAC 2025 — Featuring Akamai Technologies
Every year, as we get ready for RSA Conference, we fire up the engine and the mics—not just to cover the #tech, but to capture the #business, the strategy, and most importantly, the human side of #cybersecurity.
Our latest Brand Story does just that.
In this pre-conference conversation, we sit down with Rupesh Chokshi, SVP & GM of Application Security at #Akamai, to talk about the shifting cybersecurity landscape as we move deeper into the #AI era. From #APIattacks and #LLM scraping to hybrid infrastructures and #zerotrust environments, it’s clear that security is no longer just a barrier—it’s a business enabler.
And Akamai is right at the center of that transformation.
We explore what it means to build real #cyberresilience, how organizations can rethink their security strategy in an AI-driven world, and why this year’s #RSAC2025 Conference is set to be a defining moment for both innovation and trust.
A special thank you to Akamai for sponsoring our RSAC 2025 coverage and continuing to support conversations that matter.

I have published a new article on security theater and tickbox security, two pitfalls that can harm security strategy. They can cause resource waste, false security, and vulnerability.
