Blog  TrustNet Returns to RSA Conference 2025 to Unmask ‘The Dark Side of SOC 2

The RSA Conference is one of the most anticipated events in cybersecurity, bringing together thousands of experts from around the world to share ideas, spark innovation, and tackle the industry’s biggest challenges.  

This year, TrustNet is thrilled to return to this prestigious stage, with Chief Information Security Officer, Trevor Horwitz and Chief Technology Officer, Mike Kerem as session speakers. 

The conference, which will run from April 28 to May 1 at San Francisco’s Moscone Center, embraces the theme “Many Voices. One Community.” For TrustNet, it’s more than just a chance to join the conversation; it’s a moment to help shape it. 

A Legacy of Expertise and Leadership

Trevor and Mike are no strangers to the RSA stage. The duo gave a thought-provoking presentation on indoor proximity systems, or beacons, on behalf of iTrust back in 2017. They discussed important privacy and security issues as well as revolutionary developments in IoT. The team’s technical rigor and thought leadership were demonstrated throughout the discussion, which covered everything from how beacons may be compromised to providing methods for their safe deployment. 

Fast forward to 2025, they are looking to build on this legacy of cybersecurity and compliance expertise. This year’s presentation will center on “The Dark Side of SOC 2: Third-Party Risks Hiding in Plain Sight”, promising an even higher level of depth, expertise, and actionable insights.
