It is 3 AM. New threat intelligence drops. An attack pattern targeting your industry. Your threat hunting team is four people, all on day shift, and already behind on last week's hunts. By the time someone gets to it, the window for early detection has closed. The attacker is already inside. Tomorrow, I will tell you what Dropzone AI is bringing to RSAC to solve exactly this problem. If you cannot wait, head to dropzone.ai/rsa-2026-ai-diner.

Here is a number worth knowing before RSAC. The average enterprise SOC sees tens of thousands of alerts a day. Most get triaged. A fraction get thoroughly investigated. The rest sit in the queue or get auto-closed. Dropzone AI puts AI SOC agents on every one of those alerts. Every alert investigated, end to end, across your full tool stack, around the clock. Over 300 deployments in production today. They are at RSAC this year. Booth 455. dropzone.ai/rsa-2026-ai-diner

That's the new reality: the attack surface is trust itself. Adaptive fights back with realistic deepfake simulations and training that actually sticks. adaptivesecurity.com.

Adaptive runs realistic simulations and delivers tailored, engaging training so teams respond correctly when it counts. Learn more at adaptivesecurity.com.
